The Theft

The Theft Lyrics

He bends and he breaks
If you kiss, it will take away
His passion, his pain, his brain

He exhales,
A thousand black flowers explode
into butterflies as they're away...

Rip them, I'll take them,
Burn to coals as they crush
and leave nothing...
that resembles a soul of a man
(See him numb, see him crushed)
See him numb, see him crushed
Rip them, I'll take them
Burn to coals as they crush
and leave nothing...
that resembles a soul of a man
(Leave him numb, Leave him crushed)
Leave him numb, leave him crushed

Took the fire inside
One too many times
His burning's over and out now,
He fails,
Up against the raging tides,
No more fights,
Everything you ever wanted to see,
I see it in his eyes,
One more time, one more time

I Don't dare to test the waters,
My hands feel like they're rusting away,
So obvious, so numb, I can leave before the slaughter
I'll stay here, as long as you let me,
Decisions, then, made obvious and while they're in tune,
Where I started, I'll stay there,
When I'm finished,
I'll wither away...

Rip them, I'll take them,
Burn to coals as they crush
and leave nothing...
that resembles a soul of a man
(See him numb, see him crushed)
See him numb, see him crushed
Rip them, I'll take them
Burn to coals as they crush
and leave nothing...
that resembles a soul of a man
(Leave him numb, Leave him crushed)
Leave him numb, leave him crushed
