The Theft [Reimagined]

He bends and he breaks If you give, they will take away His 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 Leave nothing that resembles a soul of a man See him numb, see him crushed Rip them out, take them, burn to coals as they crush Leave nothing that resembles a soul of a man Leave him numb, leave him crushed Took the fire inside One too many times He's burning over and out now, he flails Up against the raging tides No more sights Everything you ever wanted to see You see it in his eyes One more time Climb down to test the waters My hands feel like they're rusting away (Oh yeah, yea-yeah) So I'll pace around like a lamb before the slaughter I'll stay here as long as you let me Decision's been made obvious so I will return Where I started, I'll stay there When unfinished, I'll whither away Rip them out, take them, burn to coals as they crush Leave nothing that resembles a soul of a man See him numb, see him crushed Rip them out, take them, burn to coals as they crush Leave nothing that resembles a soul of a man Leave him numb, leave him crushed
