The Theft lyrics

He bends and he breaks If he gives they will take away His passion, his pain, his grace He exhales A thousand black flowers explode Into butterflies as they're away Rip them out, take them Burn to coals as they crush and leave nothing That resembles a soul of a man (See him numb, see him crushed) See him numb, see him crushed Rip them out, take them Burn to coals as they crush and leave nothing That resembles a soul of a man (Leave them numb, leave them crushed) Leave them numb, leave them crushed Took the fire inside One too many times He's burning over and out now He flails Up against the raging tides No more fights Everything you ever wanted to see See it in his eyes One more time, one more time Climb down to test the waters My hands feel like they're rusting away, yeah, yeah, yeah So I'll pace around like a lamb before the slaughter I'll stay here as long as you let me Decision's been made obvious so I will return Where I started I'll stay here When I'm finished I'll whither away Rip them out, take them Burn to coals as they crush and leave nothing That resembles a soul of a man (See him numb, see him crushed) See him numb, see him crushed Rip them out, take them Burn to coals as they crush and leave nothing That resembles a soul of a man (Leave them numb, leave them crushed) Leave them numb, leave them crushed
