The Lover And The Thief

I have found, what I lean on I can't rely on
You breathed words of safety but they're ringing hollow
Let me tell you how I understand things to be
Those to whom much has been given, will much be required

So this is not how it should be
You have abandoned the vow that you have made
And I don't think you're aware
Of just how much this damages my faith

These threads are undone
And you're supposed to hold
Them together for me
But now my clothes are torn
Where is my father?

I was always here my son but
My promise lacks constraints
So now I'm wrecking you
To help you see

You're not who you should be
You have mistaken your role in all of this
And I know you're not aware
Of the consequence of thinking so amiss

She's gone, I love you all (x4)

Those threads are undone
Though I've been holding tight
But you've been growing out
Of the clothes I made for you
She's gone, I know she's gone

Come back to me
I'm all you need
She followed me
That's why you weep
It's me you need

(For Emily, and all those who shared her love)
