To the Blade (To the Bone)

So you think there's no meaning, yeah
In anything that we do, oh
Maybe it's the silence, maybe it's the war
But try to understand it
Try your best to understand the world
You're bleeding down the highway
You just want to listen to the road
Well, you called him a liar
And you called him a piece of dirt, oh
And never can you take it back and
Never can you make it right, but
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 didn't know how, ooh
You can take it from me
There's a light in your eyes
There's a thing you were always saying
And it is no words

And they called you a witness, yeah
And they called you the next of kin, ay
Maybe you don't hear their questions
Or you don't want to take it in, well
No one saw it coming, oh
But he could see the other side
He was straighter than an arrow
Pointed at a target in his mind
And his pull was his anger, yeah
But his blade was this cursed time, ay
You didn't want to be a prisoner
Anymore than you'd be mine
So try to know the difference, sleep
Until you feel it lift away
I'll be waiting for you
A reservoir between us

'Cause you're trapped in the moment you met
In the lifetime alive
What you said wasn't loud enough
But you didn't know how, ooh
You can take it from me
There's a light in your eyes
There's a thing you were always saying
And it is no words

So, ooh, ah, yeah
Ee, ah, yeah
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 light
There's a truth in the blood
There's a thing he was always saying
And it is no words, ay
Ee, ay, ah, ee
