Thief
Echoes of Deceit: Unmasking Shadows in Johnny Booth's 'Thief'
Lyrics
Hide your voices
Conceal your voices
Headless horses
Imagery of beings without heads
Find the fear that you breathe
Identify the fear present in your breath
Think of what’s expected
Consider societal expectations
The proud and soulless
People who are proud but lack a soul
They’re always watching
Constant scrutiny from others
Go and lay beside them
Join those who are being observed
Kinetic whispers are set in motion
Whispers with movement and energy are initiated
Right on time
Timing is precise
Hide your voices
Repeat: Conceal your voices
Headless horses
Repeat: Imagery of beings without heads
Find the fear that you brought to me
Identify the fear brought into a relationship
I always cover the footprint
Ensuring no evidence of one's presence
I leave no trace for the thief
Avoid leaving any clues for those who deceive
Right on time
Timing remains precise
The act of aggression expanding within us
Aggressive actions growing within individuals
I’ve been accused of it all
Personal accusations and allegations
Now you’re accusing us all
Now, everyone is accused collectively
I watched you come from nothing
Observing someone who started with nothing
Live with nothing
Living a life devoid of possessions
Be the nothing
Becoming nothing
This place was built before the passion set in
This place existed before passion emerged
When after all definition takes the shape of what’s to come
Defining things only after they've occurred
The cause
The origin or reason
The kill
The act of killing
The rot inside of your home
Decay within one's home
White circles wrap around the ones that want to play the victim
Circles of influence around those claiming victimhood
Giving up the search for ghosts
Abandoning the search for the intangible
It’s all over
It's all concluded
Wishing that the price on my head makes you profit
Desiring that the bounty on one's life benefits others
Right on time
Timing remains precise
I will be remembered
Leaving a lasting memory
For running through all your hearts and minds with sharpened teeth
Being remembered for penetrating hearts and minds forcefully
I always cover the footprint
Ensuring no evidence of one's presence
I leave no trace for the thief
Avoid leaving any clues for those who deceive
