Lyrics
Thieves We Are
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We are hollow bodies pressed against a brittle door
guilty of breaking faith we once were fighting for
we wish we could go back
and we wish that we were numb
the breath is thick when we're on both sides of the gun
bending light on broken beams
ghosts and celebrities
it can't be victory
when our lives have turned to black
so celebrate around the breakdown
and what we are is what we've done
collapse, collapse, collapse!
ruby red lips, a dashing disguise
collapse, collapse, collapse!
with nothing left to hide
shallow and meaningless with gold smoke in our eyes
an accident that's spent on nights without the lights
so shake, shake the horror
and the sin we feel inside
as we give in to temptation
and it makes us feel alive
bending light on broken beams
ghosts and celebrities
it can't be victory
when our lives have turned to black
so celebrate around the breakdown
and what we are is what we've done
collapse, collapse, collapse!
ruby red lips, a dashing disguise
collapse, collapse, collapse!
with nothing left to hide
and all the thieves we are
and all the thieves we are
