Thief

The clip at the end of the studio version is from the children's hymn Little By Little (He's Changing Me) by Elsie Dietz Lippy.

Lyrics

Central Themes

I don't want to understand this horror
There's a weight in your eyes that I can't admit
Everybody ends up here in bottles
But the name tag's the last thing you wanted
As the world explodes we fall out of it
And we can't let go because this
Will not go away
There's a house built out in space...

And I can't see that thief that lives inside of your head
But I can be some courage at the side of your bed
And I don't know what's happening and I can't pretend
But I can be your, be your...

Someone help us understand who ordered
This disgusting arrangement with time and the end
I don't want to hear who walked on water
Because the hallways are empty and the clocks tick

As the world implodes we fall into it
And we can't go home because this
Will not go away
There's a house built out in space...

And I can't see that thief that lives inside of your head
But I can be some courage at the side of your bed
And I don't know what's happening and I can't pretend
It's a long, long getaway, it's a long, long getaway
Make it home again, make it home again
It's a long, long getaway, it's a long, long getaway

And I can't see that thief that lives inside of your head
But I can be some courage at the side of your bed
I don't know what's happening and I can't pretend
But I can be your, be your... I'm here
And I can be your, be your... I'm here
It's a long, long getaway

Everyday
Little by little everyway
My jesus is changing me
He's changing me
Since I made a turn of face
I've been growing in His grace
My Jesus
