Thief

Proverbs 25:28 Lyrics: You've taken my mind into the alley out back And beat it down into the mud and the grass You've taken my time when I had none to give You've taken my heart when I just wanted to live How'd you get such a grip on my soul? I opened the door, got no self-control You're just a thief in a suit and tie With a great handshake and a tear in your eye The man to my left and the man to my right Have gone and set themselves alight And here I'm playing with matches on a wooden floor When will I learn not to open the door I'm just a soul with no shell at all A burning city with a broke-down wall I need a fortress that I can't afford I need a ship to pull me aboard I'm onto you now, I been reading up on your game No more surprises, you aren't holding the reins Got shoes on my feet and a sword in my hand I'm ready to fight, yeah, I'm ready to stand You get away, you get out of my mind I'm leaving the dirt and the mud behind My time is a gift, I won't answer your call My heart is a city with a hundred-foot wall
