Like a Thief Lyrics by Sorry Ghost

Kites

2021

[Chorus]
Like a thief in the night as we stand to the side
And the worst is yet to come, you could call it a crime
And if all you've ever seen is all you make-believe

[Verse 1]
They claim you're floating aimlessly, living dangerously
Fill your days to see all the ways you keep
Your anxious tendencies flowing endlessly
Wade into the deep and wait for calmer seas

[Verse 2]
Let me out before I
Almost drown, I know I
Heard the sound of waves that
Mold the ground so fleetingly

[Pre-Chorus]
Eroded hopes of yesterday
With promises that lead astray

[Chorus]
Like a thief in the night as we stand to the side
And the worst is yet to come, you could call it a crime
Like a raft in the dark holding out for the land
While it's led by the light from a shaky hand

[Verse 3]
They claim you're floating shamelessly, offer agency
Fill your days to plead and relay the things
That form discrepancies done so desperately
Anchored history, claiming destiny

[Pre-Chorus]
Eroded hopes of yesterday
With promises that lead astray

[Chorus]
Like a thief in the night as we stand to the side
And the worst is yet to come, you could call it a crime
Like a raft in the dark holding out for the land
While it's led by the light from a shaky hand

[Bridge]
Grasping out so
Cautiously
It slips
It slips
Through my fingers
Cold and weak
Jump ship
Jump ship
Toss my head up to the ceiling where I
Almost catch the sinking feeling

[Chorus]
Like a thief in the night as we stand to the side
And the worst is yet to come, you could call it a crime
Like a raft in the dark holding out for the land
While it's led by the light from a shaky hand
Encouraged by the hopes of a new yesterday
With promises bright that follow the way
And we're falling in oceans vast, unknown
With a map in hands to chart your own
Forgetting all the fears of another day
These promises shine and fall away
Jumping in oceans wide, unknown
With a map in steady hands to chart your own
