Hungry Lights
Thief
All the fear that I felt dismantled
Everybody’s looking—all eyes are me
But we’re unsure if I was different than before
I felt different, but I just couldn’t place my finger on it
-Couldn’t look to the mirror
Naw, man—didn’t like what it showed
Covered up—so to run from the criticism
I covered up til’ my way out closed

Now I shine with a glint of madness
So dark I will not be denied

And so the beatings began
Don’t look to me
Don’t act surprised!
Deception had been unraveled
Took the time to tell myself the lie
I wouldn’t trust me… not one bit

‘Cause I shine with a glint of madness
So dark I will not be denied
And your sight’s been lost for too long

A dangerous fool, or was it superstition?
A thief was caught tonight
And I’m just here to make that noticed
How’d half blood stain my hands?
Would I see it wash away?
Nothing’s forever
But I guess I was just looking for remorse
Errors have showed me
That the more I hide, the more you seek
I wasn’t one to hesitate...
Maybe I just felt empty
Maybe I couldn’t feel at all!

I don’t think any words of kindness
Could repent all the crimes I’d committed
No, my sight’s been lost for too long

A dangerous fool, or was it superstition?
A thief was caught tonight
And I’m just here to make that noticed
How’d half blood stain my hands?
Would I see it wash away?
Nothing’s forever
But I guess I was just looking for remorse

Bless you all with godspeed
May this be an eventful evening full of smiles

I can’t help it
I just think it’s funny
No one is synchronized
Maybe I believe that the heavens never had our backs
We’re done—no, it’s over
Three gods entered inside the realm
Deep within my head
I could have found peace
I could have found all things I’d ever longed for
It’s uncanny, yea…
But that’s how I present myself
No stealth, I just straight-up lie
‘Cause I ain’t looking for no means to escape
No, the noose on my neck holds tight—my fault
Time was sick, and I’m quick
Inside the pit, the pendulum flipped
I couldn’t find me the will to lift me
Look, Ma, I’m under the spotlight!

And Mrs. Humble, I know you see me shine
It’s not the way that you wanted me to
-The way could make things brighter
But Mrs. Humble, I know you see me shine!
It’s not the way that you wanted me to
But with a glint of madness that peeks out from these eyes

A dangerous fool, or was it superstition?
A thief was caught tonight
And I’m just here to make that noticed
How’d half blood stain my hands?
Would I see it wash away?
Nothing’s forever
But I guess I was just looking for remorse

Thank you, thank you, you're too kind!
Now settle down friends, settle down
We are gathered here of course, because a man has committed..
..A CRIME!
Yes, yes!
And of course, here in Ik'theves
The price of such heresy?
DEATH!
Hahahahaha, yes, yes!
Death by the hands, of the three Gods!
Hahahahahahahaha
Yes yes
For the first time, in the history of Ik'theves
We have a man who has volunteered
To fight for this criminals life, and freedom
I do say, he is either extremely cocky
Extremely stupid
Or is simply looking to die
