Forty Thieves

(album: Long Road Home - 2014)

My body is toxic
And now there's visitors living in my veins yet
I'm just a host in their selfish games well
Oh god where are you now?
I thought you loved us all the same

I was up looking for you all night
I'm sure I heard your voice in the darkness
I was up looking for you all night
'cos you know you are the fortress I am bound too

I was shattered when I found you
And all your skin was white there were crystal lines running
Between your lips and
Down through your spine there was
Nothing in your eyes that I could recognise
For the pain you left I hope you made it there

I was up looking for you all night
I'm sure I heard your voice in the darkness
I was up looking for you all night
'cos you know you are the fortress I am bound too

It's funny how the simplest things
Are often the hardest
But all I ever wanted was to love you

I was up looking for you all night
I'm sure I heard your voice in the darkness
I was up looking for you all night
'cos you know you are the fortress I am bound too
