To the Blade

so you think there's no meaning,
in anything that we do?

maybe it's the silence
maybe it's the war

try to understand it
try your best to understand the world

you're bleeding down the highway you,
just wanna listen to the road

well you called him a liar
and you called him a piece of dirt

and never can you take it back and
never can you make it right

in the final seconds I,
think he knew everything you are

a plague on the horizon, in the cold arena
where you're trapped
in the moment you met
in the lifetime alive
what you said wasn't loud enough but you did know how

ooh,
you can take it from me
there's a light in your eyes
there's a thing that you always said and it is no words

and they called you a witness
and they called you the next of kin

maybe you don't hear their questions
or you don't wanna take it in

no-one saw it coming
nobody could see the underside

he was straighter than an arrow
pointed at a target in his mind

and his bow was his anger
but his blade was this cursed time

he didn't wanna be your prisoner
any more than you'd be mine

try to know the difference
sleep, until you see it lift away

i'll be waiting for you,
a reservoir between us cos you're trapped
in the moment you met
in the lifetime alive
what you said wasn't loud enough but you did know how

ooh,
you can take it from me
there's a light in your eyes
there's a thing that you always said and it is no words

yes
it's the back of your mind
it's the hand of a god
it's the thought that you might have done it but you can't know why

ooh
don't you waste any life

there's a truth in the blood
there's a thing he was always saying and it is no words
