To the Blade Lyrics

So you think there's no meaning
In anything that we do?
Maybe its the silence?
Maybe its the war?

Try to understand it
Try your best to understand the world
You're bleeding down a highway
You just want to 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 you knew everything you are
A plague on the horizon
In the cold arena where you're

TRAPPED
In the moment you miss
In the lifetime of life
What you stand for is a rodeo
But you didn't know why
You can take it from me
There's a proof in demise
There's a thing that you're always saying
And it is no word

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 want to take it in

No one saw it coming
No body 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 want to be your prisoner
Any more than you'd be mine

Try to know the difference
Sleep until you see him lift away
I'll be waiting for you
The reservoir between us is a

TRAPPED
In the moment you miss
In the lifetime of life
What you stand for is a rodeo
But you didn't know why
You can take it from me
There's a liar in your eyes
There's a thing that you're always saying
And it is no word

Yeah
It's the back of your mind
It's the heart of a gun
It's the fluff that you might have done it
But you can't know why
Don't you waste any life
There's a truth in the love
There's a thing he was always saying
And it is no word!

Eh!
Not my!
Eh

Cover art for To the Blade lyrics by Everything Everything

"It's written as a letter to someone who is close a person who's done something terrible. Basically, it's three times removed from the person who did the act themselves, and I'm talking to somebody - maybe their son has joined ISIS and is rejected from society or their wife has become a monster - about this feeling of not understanding why what is happening is happening, or how anybody could ever be driven to something terrible. I'm almost trying to comfort them... but there are also bits in the song that suggest that in the right situation anyone would do the same thing, and that's really very scary, but I think it's worth saying. It's something people won't consider for a second - that they could be one of these monsters if they were in different circumstances."
