Common Thief

from The Answer by We Die Tonight

lyrics

How will I die this time?
In reality, or just be banished from your mind?

I don't want to die in a hospital bed.
I don't want to go feeling any regret.

I feel it follow me round corners,
and lurk behind dead eyes.
I feel it creep through my window,
as I lay barely breathing but still alive.

Stealing hearts is just the trick of the common thief.

Just leave the past behind.
We've all been through enemy lines.

Can you feel it yet?
Breaking out like sweat,
a foul stench of contempt,
for those you thought were your friends.
But I'm still standing by your side.

You can't argue with the powers that be.
I just hope living won't be the death of me.
