MASSIVE ATTACK LYRICS - Flat Of The Blade

"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
