The Thieves Are Out Tonight

My mind burns so bad full of
Hypotheses exit strategies to
Persuade me into giving up
As I touch my other hand
So I won't think I'm alone
Can't watch down from heaven if I can't go home

Dimmed lights and it's thick to see
I'm more informed than I can ever be
It was hard to change but so easy to leave
Wet and scared and scared to be

Blame yourself where blame is due
I've been there and back before
Hold your tongue where holding's done
And I'll have more respect for you
They don't even want to know why
Aromas of noise and echo chambers

Cigarette smoke and you
Bleeding hearts and dripping eyes
Room only and only for me
Then I got up to walk out the door
No you can't have it and no you can't see
Even though in the past I have been weak
Long out of my eyes so tired when alone
I can't watch down from heaven if I can't go home

And it's thick to see
I'm more reformed than I can ever be free
It was hard to change but so easy to leave
I'll probably fall down I'll probably step back
I'm just so damn weak to resist any of that
Wet and scared and scared to be

Blame yourself where blame is due
I held her forever before
And in a minute she turned up the stairs
And I have more respect for you
They don't even want to know why for
The thieves are out tonight

Stings so bad
Alone again
Giving up
Touch my hand

Dimmed lights and it's thick to see
I'm more informed than I can ever be
Trying to change trying to leave
Wet and scared and scared to be free
