GIVER AND THE THIEF Lyrics

Lavish purple roses

And jasmine air

Flowing down her silk brocade

It's not fair

Missing a life full of vibrant smiles

Brittle flowers wither away

Words all stolen, the body lies still

Angel and the devil on the windowsill

Buried six feet deep

Does the dirt take my soul?

Of the giver and the thief

I've been playing my role

Buried six feet deep

Does the dirt take my soul?

Of the giver and the thief

I've been playing my role

A smile, a laugh, a step in your path

Is this what you think of me?

Ears open wide, a thorn in your side

Is this all that I can be?

Hide all of the people

The fall of the steeple

We saw when it started to lean

Soul of a cold saint and

A whisper's been waiting

So long that it became a scream

I'm done with missing you

Seems like that's all that I could do

Rotting inside the tomb I made

All of the love and hate

Both things are more than I can take

Rose from the dirt where I'd been laid

Eyes clouded like I'm dead

Lift up the stone from off my head

You can't contain me in this grave

Buried six feet deep

With the seed that you've sown

Of the giver and the thief

I've been playing my role


Buried six feet deep

With the seed that you've sown

Of the tares and the wheat

Reaper's scythe overgrown

Say goodbye you lord of flies

You thief of my slumber

No starved insect drawn to your lies

My grace burned to embers

Melted down forged a debt you cannot pay

That cuts through your mantle

Besmirched blade you hide away

You brandish the handle

Buried six feet deep

With the seed that you've sown

Of the giver and the thief

I've been playing my role

Buried six feet deep

With the seed that you've sown

Of the giver and the thief

I've been playing my role

Buried six feet deep

Does the dirt take my soul?

Of the giver and the thief

I've been playing my role

Buried six feet deep

Does the dirt take my soul?

Of the giver and the thief

I've been playing my role

Buried six feet deep

With the seed that you've sown

Of the giver and the thief

I've been playing my role

Buried six feet deep

With the seed that you've sown

Of the giver and the thief

I've been playing my role
