the theft

He bends and he breaks
If he gives they will take awayHis passion, his pain, his grace
He exhales,A thousand black flowers explode
Into butterflies as they're away
Rip them out, 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 out, take them Burn to coals as they crush and leave nothing That resembles a soul of a manLeave them numb, leave them crushed (leave them numb, leave them crushed)
Took the fire inside One too many times He's burning over and out now,He flailsUp against the raging tides,
No more sides Everything you ever wanted to see,See it in his eyes
One more time, one more time
Climb down to test the waters,My hands feel like they're rusting away, yeah, yeah, yeah,So I'll pace around like a limb before the slaughterI'll stay here as long as you let me,
Decision's been made obvious so I will returnWhere I started I'll stay hereWhen I'm finished I'll whither away
