[Verse1] Everyone loves the ocean On a windless day Everyone loves a stranger With a kind word to say Everyone loves a victim Until they choose to go to war Everyone loves your castle Until you're holding a sword And once the cannons fire Once the smoke clears They see you standing In the battlefield Blood up to your ears [Chorus] My blade is sharp That's why I keep it In a stone My well is deep That's why I sow And do not reap My will is strong That's why surrender Takes so long [Verse 2] Everyone loves tragedy When it's not their own Everyone loves the heat of fire Until it's far too close Everyone loves danger Inside a cage Everyone loves passion Until it burns as rage You act like I chose this road You forget that I was sold Could you not hear the chains? Or see the weight? I begged for help Don't blame me For saving myself [Chorus] My blade is sharp That's why I keep it In a stone My well is deep That's why I sow And do not reap My will is strong That's why surrender Takes so long [Bridge] I can't stop The clocks turning in my head I can't help But see each path and where it led I can't kill The parts that keep me fed I can't fix it By kneeling at your bed [Bridge repeats] I can't stop The clocks turning in my head I can't help But see each path and where it led I can't kill The parts that keep me fed I can't fix it By kneeling at your bed [Chorus] My blade is sharp That's why I keep it In a stone My well is deep That's why I sow And do not reap My will is strong That's why surrender Takes so long [Final Chorus] My blade is sharp That's why I keep it In a stone My well is deep That's why I sow And do not reap My will is strong That's why surrender Takes so long [Outro] So here I am On this bloody hill Enjoy the show But you should know I showed you who I was A long time ago
