Lyrics Emery – Bloodless
Text:
(take me)
far from all that’s wrong and…
(let these)
fears collapse inside
back to when i…
(believed)
and as a little boy
he tried to hide his eyes
with reeds and rituals
with paper and a knife
the fire will always burn
the skin and forgery
an answer when you won’t
the bloodless hands of fear
he didn’t know (he didn’t know)
he didn’t know (he didn’t know)
he didn’t know
he was hungry
he didn’t know (he didn’t know)
he didn’t know (he didn’t know)
he didn’t know
he was hungry
someone had a knife (someone had a knife)
took away my eyes (my eyes)
the last time is right now
this choice will take or make everything
your face is fading out
(wash those days)
(from your eyes and let them fall away)
(wash those days)
(from your eyes and let them fall away)
(drown the fear)
he felt the wake
of torrid days
ushered through
by warm mistakes
suddenly (suddenly)
his broken feet (his broken feet)
took their rest
on bended knee
he didn’t know (he didn’t know)
he didn’t know (he didn’t know)
he didn’t know
he was hungry
he didn’t know (he didn’t know)
he didn’t know (he didn’t know)
he didn’t know
he was hungry
he was hungry
someone had a knife (someone had a knife)
took away my eyes (my eyes)
the last time is right now
this choice will take or make everything
your face is fading out
i won’t stand here
this dance won’t stop the music
your promise will help me lead
until the end
(if this is the last time)
what words have you to say
(i won’t forget you)
(exhale the last breath)
(tear down the statues)
(this scar will remain here)
before we spill this blood
(to mark where we severed)
(my hands from your hands)
(your hands from my heart)
(if this)
this time you will be afraid
(is the last time)
(if this)
you’ve lost me, your plan failed
(is the last time)
(this is the last time)
(this is the last time)
(this is the last time)
