Emery - Taken For A Bath Lyrics
And I wanted to see it, the crease and the curve of the skin
Four words got me in again and again again
But my friend, it was the light just behind us, I knew we never could keep up
The beds we make, the steps we take, are graves we fill everyday
Where the sun sets on them steals the eye
Touch the streets with feet in hurried measure
Our discretion means we never lie.
We never have to lie
You stole my eyes, so you I will take
You are the test of our grace
Threads become lines, we cross till they break
And they break from the seams to the bodies of men.
The illusion was ours, it was joy and it was rapture,
I would have settled for capture, but a lost life found my bed
And all the wages of another and the secret is no longer mine
Warm the body like so many others
Your discretion means we never lie
We never have to lie
You stole my eyes, so you I will take
You are the test of our grace
Threads become lines, we cross till they break
and They break from the seams to the bodies of men.
(We will lie we will take
Withered and Crushed the fire and the fate
You will die for our sake
We will see the world in the blood)
Time says we are meant to suffer slink back to the retch
I called him home
I never wanted them to wither or be crushed by the weight
The choice was all his own,
How could I have known
The simple answers that hold people to the fire and their fate
Wait and see for yourself it's in the blood,
it’s in the blood, the whole world is in the blood
I'd rather tell you how I ruled the world and never stopped
But this heart mine is shaking like a spinning top
And as it slows all my sins have caught the last of me
That reflection in the water tells a story true
But it's the last thing you want staring back at you
And wrinkled hands weak from plunder barely stir this away
There were years where our faces stayed in front us
There were moments we forgot what this really was
But the death of a memory, is the death we carry
We're desperate and dead set, we carry reasons in our chests
We reset and forget, the songs we sing are for the blessed
Don't take this personally, your quiet exit stole the show
The regrets are all said
Kings and kingdoms come and go.

Emery Taken For A Bath Comments
I just need to come back to this amazing song once in a while.
emery are maybe the most underrated band of all time. change my mind
Охуенно
They have sort of great humour behind the emotional music
sort of ?!?!?!
Lol....this shit perfectly depicts the current lives of 2000-2010 post hardcore bands, and fans and their fans alike. God I miss the eaely 2000's...
I cannot believe how underrated this band is. Makes me sad but so happy to know of them
Mas de una decada escuchandolos. Y siguen manteniendo el estilo 👏
Camera guy in reflection at 0:19. XD
This is weird my name is emery
correct me if im wrong but dosent toby live i missouri
Okay, somehow every album is their best yet. I need a glass of water.
loving EMERY since 2004 !
What an excellent video filled with vivid imagery. The leaves represent the Vietnam War and all of the destruction of that era, while the rake represents the generations afterward that are forced to mend the wounds of the past. I am still figuring out the children's role in this... perhaps they represent the Russians in the Cold War.
As hilarious as this was while watching, it was quite emotionally touching as well. Didn't expect that.
umm i never knew this lot got back togather...
They never really broke up?
I thought they did, for a while they didn't produce music right?... i'm so behind with bands like this nowadays :P
I haven't listened to Emery in years. You guys had my hear then, and still do now. Under-appreciated band here. You're perfect.
Que loco la manera en como evoluciona la banda, me encantó el video.
full bien sigan asiiii :)
No disrespect. Part of music videos to me is to be entertained and/or to follow a story of the song...this however........
Jason Bateman at his finest!
I remember seeing Jason Bateman in a preview and thinking "What in the world is Toby doing in a movie?!" It took me a while to realize my mistake.
New genre: cute-core.
2015, and still an emo band. Love the consistency guys !!
wew, tau emery juga gan? hehe
Make emo great again? :)
Miss you guys :D
When Toby tries to be like upset at the end but couldn't help but smile XD
How is it that a three minute music video of Toby doing yard work is better than any other video they've done?
I could not stop laughing!! hahaha
thanks for the reminder i'm an old fuhker now..
since 7 years ago,,the vocalist is the one of better voice i hear than more band others (newbie) sucks!! #Emery#Grazie!!
+balak6 Bli You should just use GoogleTranslate next time...
It leaves me asking the question "how the hell are these guys not more popular?"
@Joe Monroe Seems logical. Emery has been one of my favourite bands for years, so it kinda sucks to see them having videos with only a couple thousand views :/
They also started their own label, so they aren't being pushed by anyone either. I agree though. People are missing out.
Heh I am asking myself same question every time i listen to Emery, why so underrated. They are mostly recognized by people who listen core music but not by all heh. Simply one of the best rock bands in XXI century. I think they need massive promo action on Internet ,popular press,radio and TV to let more people know about band. But this is not cheap, big sponsors could help. The question is .Do band members wanna this?
@***** indeed sir.
@Marcin Czyżewski since they started their own label, I think they want to do it their way. They are also carrying other bands too. And they do living room concerts and stuff occasionally, so I'm not sure fame is their concern.
#dadlife
I have that same hose reel. I found a snake in it once. Watch yourself, Toby.
Did I just watch a 3 minute leaf raking video? : /
awwww...Emery is all grown up
hahaha ;-)
This is totally going to be me when I get older hahahah... "And I would've gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids!" :,D
@Evan Elms Nice pic. Haven't listened to Balance&Composure in a loooonnng time. good stuff.
Lol that was a funny video also
LOVE IT!!! didn't lose themselves.. digging the hard vocals :)
Are those Toby's kids?
