Thieves

Swapping organs in and out
Strapping me to tables, dissecting me yourself
You can take all the pieces you don't have
Rebuild your shell if it means cutting me in half
But I could never do the same to you
I'd beg my way to the alter, I'd bleed out "I do"s
So stitch me up and make me brand new
Because I can't wait for that day

I was always caught up in how you crashed the sky into the sea
When you grew wings, I couldn't keep your feathers from shedding
It looks like we have a lot to talk about
We have a lot to talk about

We were less like lovers, more like thieves
Stealing the hearts of others to wear on our sleeves
So we hid in arctic circles
You grew in arctic circles
Because despite what you think, I would freeze
If it meant keeping you warm

But then you say it's not okay
That we're okay with dying alone

I was always caught up in how you crashed the sky into the sea
When you grew wings, I couldn't keep your feathers from shedding
It looks like we have a lot to talk about
We have a lot to talk about

Call me up, call me up
Tell me you're addicted to this travesty
Call if off, call it off
And fly away when this island starts sinking

I was always caught up in how you crashed the sky into the sea
When you grew wings, I couldn't keep your feathers from shedding
It looks like we have a lot to talk about
We have a lot to talk about

Brave the cold, the arctic breeze
The ice has covered all of me
And I could never fall asleep
Without your lips, your hips, your tongue, your teeth
