Flat of the Blade

Massive Attack

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
