"Blade" lyrics - THIRD EYE BLIND

THIRD EYE BLIND
"Blade"

I took my blade, and I cut him deep
And the blood bloomed red on his crisp white shirt
For your party guests to see

We could have run in the night
I could have slit his throat in his sleep
But I wanted you to see
The company you keep

I thought we went together
Like violence on a balmy night
I thought being alone with a violent man
Made you feel all right
Can we get away tonight

And your father said follow the money to the source
That's what life is all about
Then you fuck the source
Till the money comes out

You say that I'm a brute
'Cause I fell faster than you
But I've got a heart that's true
And there's nothing I won't do
To get away with you

Smile hides the slander in her eyes
She's the dark clouds swirling in my skies
And the cocktail chatter all starts to dim
Like a doppler away from me she spins
On a blue black sea she starts to swim
She betrayed me all on a whim
To get away with him

I took my blade, but I couldn't get it all to drain
I could see him bleed indifferently
Like tear drops in the rain
