Toh Kay - The Hands That Thieve lyrics

I felt no guilt 'til I was caught And I was told that I was guilty And even then I wasn't really sure, yeah yeah That the thing I felt was guilt itself Or maybe it was something else Frustration at the fact that I was ever caught at all I told a lie that multiplied By the time I realized it I'd given up everything I ever loved, yeah yeah 'Cause the thing you lack When you're looking back Is the pressure, the feel that you have to act Yeah everything is clearer when You're looking at the past, oh no And I don't care if I lose Because my heroes did too They shouted court should be adjourned Because the jury are fools And the judge can't decipher his left from his right Or his right from his wrong And I will bite the hand that thieves I will not turn the other cheek This is no threat It is a promise I will keep So what's the point pretending When we sit behind the curtain And there's nothing much to see Oh yeah I felt no pain 'til I was down And I was told that I was bleeding And even then I knew I wasn't done, yeah yeah The scars I get They will just collect Insuring that I won't forget Reminders of the battles That I've lost and that I've won And I will fight until I have died Or all my enemies are allies And even then I will sleep with an open eye, yeah yeah 'Cause the night is long and our foes are strong And I know the road we travel on It always seems so dark because we've almost reached the dawn Oh no And I don't care if I lose Because my heroes did too They shouted court should be adjourned Because the jury are fools And the judge can't decipher his left from his right Or his right from his wrong And I will bite the hand that thieves I will not turn the other cheek This is no threat It is a promise I will keep So what's the point pretending When we sit behind the curtain And there's nothing much to see Oh yeah And everyone will claim That they knew from the beginning Exactly how it'd end But they still just went on sinning The sudden rush you feel When realizing everything you know will fade away It holds you dear But you don't wanna let it go Someday we'll lose the war But 'til then we will dream of winning I won't forget The things you said When I was down and I was tired of it The words you spoke They brought me hope When it was time to fight I chose a side But I knew in my heart that something didn't feel right So I stood my ground And waited for a sign And I sang Oh, I don't care if I lose Because my heroes did too They shouted court should be adjourned Because the jury are fools And the judge can't decipher his left from his right Or his right from his wrong And I will bite the hand that thieves I will not turn the other cheek This is no threat It is a promise I will keep So what's the point pretending When we sit behind the curtain And there's nothing much to see Oh yeah
