Oh baby didn't you hear?
I'm goin' solo dear,
so low dear
I am the thief without the take
I'm swallowing the bitterest pill
totally ever so against my will
I am the thief without the take,
I am the thief without the take,
everytime I try to do my art
always fallin' apart,
fallin' apart
I am the thief without the take,
I am the thief without the take,
I'm the desert without sun
five minus one diamond without shine
I'm the poem that doesn't rhyme
I'm the king on the hill
sick and ill
nothin' I wouldn't trade to be the serving knave
I'm the sun without heat
the drum without the beat
I'm the winter without snow
flame without a glow
I am the thief without the take,
I am the thief without the take
everytime I try to do my art
always fallin' apart,
fallin' apart
I am the thief without the take,
I am the thief without the take
I've stolen from myself too too long
it's just the music makes me want to go on
