The Thief

Lyrics

I'm the thief outside of the gate Winter is coming in late The bells from over the hill They're giving my bones a chill Slipping my hand silently Around a treasure you cannot see You wonder where it goes While I savor it so I want to feel everything I want to feel everything I want to feel everything I want to feel everything How I want to devour Your whole life by the hour I will take you under my wing Ooh, I want to feel everything Ooh, whoa, whoa, whoa The song begins to play The body begins to sway Thе sound of single note Your heart is in your throat My hеart is a black hole Consuming all that I stole You wonder where it all goes Yeah, while I savor it so But I just want to feel everything Yeah, I just want to feel everything I've got to steal everything Oh, just to feel anything Oh, how I want to devour Your whole life by the hour I'm a raven trying to sing Oh, I want to feel everything Yeah Because it's nothing less, because it's nothing more Than breaking waves upon a distant shore This is why I love, this is why I ache Because to feel I've always got to take To feel anything I want to feel everything I want to feel everything Oh, I want to feel everything Yeah, I want to devour Your whole life by the hour I will take you under my wing I want to feel everything Everything, everything Everything, everything Everything, everything Everything, everything When you were a child, it was all just a game But childhood is gone, the rules have all changed One thing that's known, there is nothing I cannot take When you were good, you were given rewards When you were bad, you were given some more When you were still you sank like a stone in the ocean And whatever is left when the memories fade No feeling safe, no feeling afraid This I will leave for you so you can feel every breath A kiss in the darkness, and when it's over A breeze in a heat wave, a drink when you're sober I want to feel I want to feel it all To feel these bones, these bones, these bones They are all I know These bones, these bones, these bones They're hollow, but they're all I own There will be nothing left when I'm done For you, I'd steal the light from the sun As the preacher would steal from his faith As the soldier would steal from his gun For you, I'd steal the light from the sun
