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
