A Thief In The Day

Despair, you are a thief in the day‐

you rob me of all joy,

steal the color from eyes,

and kill my smile...

all that's left for you to take is my life‐

but you won't...

because you want me to...

well, let me say to you now,

Despair,

I won't‐

no matter what you say.

A thief in the day‐

under the sun,

all you do is destroy,

burn up all peace,

and shout lies...

all that's left for you to bring an end to is me‐

but you won't...

because you want me to...

well, let me tell you again,

that I won't‐

no matter what you try to spell out in front of me

or what story you try to sell.

I will not join your numbers‐

I refuse to be another one of your sorry statistics.

Despair, you are a thief in the day

holding hostage, all hope, in your process

of taking everything good,

and leaving nothing but ruin behind you.

A burning paradise
