Chorus: At the foot of the father like father ‘ What is the problem? Can’t see the road so how could I follow? Got all choked up so how could I swallow? Your medicine but better yet let it soak in the sacrament so 39 thieves Couldn’t rob us of our sacrilege
39 thieves ‘ Teach you a lesson The 40th fell into the hell of his confession Down down never came back back up up
Verse: Wave hits ’ Mind freezes up Sky splits ‘ I gotta pick the pieces up Find the shards they’re buried in the garden Hide your charge cuz it’s a long way home Step lightly and careful ‘ You might see 39 thieves Down on their knees and it depends on the season If there’s snow on the ground there’ll be blood in the ice You’ll be tempted to join ‘em now They think I’m crazy ‘ has anybody saved me yet I think I’m poisoned ‘ living under constant threat Is this the plot or better yet an imposter? Like me the life we lead is easily broken
Bridge: Never thought I’d have to do this alone Hold on so I won’t break Feeling just a little bit better Never knew how much my fingers could take Hold tight to the side of the cliff now This is it now you’re never gonna get down Reach for the ground until it picks you up You see it’s never enough until it lifts you
Chorus: At the foot of the father like father ‘ What is the problem? Can’t see the road so how could I follow? Got all choked up so how could I swallow? Your medicine but better yet let it soak in the sacrament so 39 thieves Couldn’t rob us of our sacrilege
Verse: I trusted the rats swimming away from the sinking ship And left you to save face Been thinking since then The cracks in this skin are way to exposed to go away If there’s another chance ‘ I don’t wanna take it this time It’s my interpretation of the last mistake That makes good and evil simple as a line Down the middle of my spine As the thought of you in broken space There’s a laugh and whisper in the next room Catch a draft ‘ feel a quiver ‘ make ya head swoon Pretty pretty angry ‘ ugly ugly awake We’re living on different pages ‘ Forgetting all the same poems
Bridge: Never thought I’d have to do this alone Hold on so I won’t break Feeling just a little bit better Never knew how much my fingers could take Hold tight to the side of the cliff now This is it now you’re never gonna get down Reach for the ground until it picks you up You see it’s never enough until it lifts you up
