Chris Callaghan - Thief

I'm still shaking off the words you said to me
No-one likes the taste of asphalt shoved between their teeth
Now it's a shock, I never thought you hid a knife up your sleeve
And who knew? Behind that face, you were just a thief

I ask you what does it mean?
But you just watch me
Silently
Building yourself up to speak
And I can hardly breathe
It seems like time is slowing
As your words wash over me
And then you pause like you're waiting...

I'm still shaking off the words you said to me
No-one likes the taste of asphalt shoved between their teeth
Now it's a shock, I never thought you hid a knife up your sleeve
And who knew? Behind that face, you were just a thief

Your eyes still following me
Like a vulture
Watching me slowly bleed
Silently
The colour drains from my cheeks
My face becomes gaunt and pale
My eyes darken as they're hollowing
Choking on the words that I'm trying to swallow down
All your lying

I'm still shaking off the words you said to me
No-one likes the taste of asphalt shoved between their teeth
Now it's a shock, I never thought you hid a knife up your sleeve
And who knew? Behind that face, you were just
Shaking off the words you said to me
No-one likes the taste of asphalt shoved between their teeth
Now it's a shock, I never thought you hid a knife up your sleeve
And who knew? Behind that face, you were just a thief
