To the Hilt Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, it seems a long time ago
Oh, we didn't know
Before we had seen anything
We believed in everything
All those times you'd warm my hands
Maybe things weren't easy as they seem
[Pre-Chorus]
We backed each other to the hilt
We backed each other to the hilt
Now I live in this house we built
[Chorus]
Hated you for leavin' me
You were my muse for so long
Now I'm drained creatively
I miss you on my team
Hated you for walkin' out
I blew up and you were gone
So they say it's the industry
But I miss you on my team
[Verse 2]
People say we're better off
You couldn't keep up
I still keep one broken piece
The one that fits in that chip on your shoulder
When we made our master plans
Is this where you thought we would be standing?
[Pre-Chorus]
We backed each other to the hilt
We backed each other to the hilt
Now I live in this house we built
[Chorus]
Hated you for leavin' me
You were my muse for so long
Now I'm drained creatively
I miss you on my team
Hated you for walkin' out
I blew up and you were gone
They say it's just the industry
But I miss you on my team
[Bridge]
We started this together, now you're gone
And when we said forever, we were naive
You saw me as a superstar when I was in caves
You helped them to see
[Chorus]
Hated you for leavin' me
You were my muse for so long
Now I'm drained creatively
But I miss you on my team

What did BANKS say about "To the Hilt"?
It is special to me, that song. It’s sacred to me. It just feels… It felt like it needed to be the last thing you heard from me. It’s a bit gentle. It also doesn’t fit in between songs. It needs space because it’s so emotional. It needs time to breathe and to be digested.
