Since I wrote you last
I was stealing from the supermarket
To make my living.
I pry open the sliding glass door,
Letting myself in to the unlit fluorescent glow,
Stole as much I could, brought it back,
I knew what I needed to do.
I took it, took it to, to my basement
Where I keep it all
It's the last thing that I have to cling to
My basement horde of food,
And other little things that I can carry,
It was the longest thing that I've been able to hold on to.
I'm a thief, I'm a liar,
But I can't help but follow my desire.
I'm a thief and I'm a liar,
But I can't help but follow my desire.
Is it enough for me to just go and take what I need
No, I need more
I need more
I neeeeeed moooore.
I don't know why it's so
Pervasive within me
I need to take it all away
From everyone who's in the way
I know I'm wrong,
I know I'm right,
It's so silly,
I'm a fright,
So take me back to captivity.
I know I'm a liar,
I know I'm a thief,
But I can't help but follow my desire.
