Massive Attack

flat of the blade

I'm not good in a crowd,
I got skills I can't speak of...

Things I've seen will chase me
To the grave...

I'm not good in a crowd,
I got skills I can't speak of
Over there...

Things that I've seen
Will chase me to the grave...

Led with your hands tied
Fetters and flies...

You stumble the dunes
Complain to the moon...

Backs to the wheel
There's granite to shove...

Take it
They give it
So rivet for rivet
I will pilfer my family
A bulletproof love...

How does it feel
The weight of the steel?

The weight of the steel
The flat of the blade...

How does it feel
To kneel at defeat?

To kneel at defeat
At the choices you make...

I'm not good in a crowd,
I got skills I can't speak of...

Things I've seen will chase me
To the grave...

Backs to the wheel
There's granite to shove...

Take it
They give it
And rivet for rivet
I will build for my family
A bulletproof love...
