The Lover And The Thief

I have found, what I lean on I can't rely on

You breathed words of safety but they're ringing hollow

Let me tell you how I understand things to be

Those to whom much has been given, will much be required

So this is not how it should be

You have abandoned the vow that you have made

And I don't think you're aware

Of just how much this damages my faith

These threads are undone

And you're supposed to hold

Them together for me

But now my clothes are torn

Where is my father?

I was always here my son but

My promise lacks constraints

So now I'm wrecking you

To help you see

You're not who you should be

You have mistaken your role in all of this

And I know you're not aware

Of the consequence of thinking so amiss

She's gone, I love you all (x4)

Those threads are undone

Though I've been holding tight

But you've been growing out

Of the clothes I made for you

She's gone, I know she's gone

Come back to me

I'm all you need

She followed me

That's why you weep

It's me you need

(For Emily, and all those who shared her love)
