Bitter Thief

Rubble has covered my slate Been counting the days Since I've lost my way Righteous hands with A wayward heart Spirit littered with sins Got no good in my cards I fear the unknown And being written in stone These waves aren't short of tidal All I'll be when I croak's A shameful bundle of bones I wish that it was libel Revelries with my high hopes and nightmares These burdens that I wear Stolen dreams and I'm the bitter thief Go back and black out the bad history Break bread with the guilty I hate myself for who I'll never be Blood runs thick Mine's feeling like mud Folks don't really want me Just the person I was Dwell on every mistake And my past faults Think I'll finally be fine When the deadman walks Can't perfect what I touch Now I dread what I loved My passion's in the morgue Attentions gone wild Doubts got me so mired I wrote what's on the wall Revelries with my high hopes and nightmares These burdens that I wear Stolen dreams and I'm the bitter thief Go back and black out the bad history Break bread with the guilty I hate myself for who I'll never be I'm the Midas of ruin I'm no longer human I'll leave behind an empty destiny I'm the holes in the armor The feet of a wanderer The remnants of a faded memory Half bitten nails Can hardly breath These highs and woes and forlorn roads Have thrown me to my knees Foam at the mouth Fear's on my sleeves I'm rich in tragedy Revelries with my high hopes and nightmares These burdens that I wear Stolen dreams and I'm the bitter thief
