The Hands That Thieve
Streetlight Manifesto

I felt no guilt until I was caught and I was told that I was guilty
And even then I wasn't really sure
Yeah, yeah
That the thing I felt was guilt itself
Or maybe it was something else
Frustration at the fact that I was ever caught at all

I told a lie that multiplied and by the time I realized it
I'd given up everything I ever loved
Yeah, yeah
Because the thing you lack when you're looking back
Is the pressure, the fear that you have to act
Yeah, everything is clearer when you're looking at the past
Oh no

And I don't care if I lose
Because my heroes did too
They shouted, Court should be adjourned because the jury are fools!
And the judge can't decipher his left from his right
Or his right from his wrong

And we will bite the hand that thieves
We will not turn the other cheek
This is no threat, it is a promise we will keep
So what's the point pretending
When we've seen behind the curtain
And there's nothing much to see
Oh yeah

I felt no pain 'til I was down and I was told that I was bleeding
And even then I knew I wasn't done
Yeah, yeah
Because the wounds I get they will just collect
Ensuring that I won't forget
Reminders of the battles that I've lost and that I've won

And I will fight 'til I have died
Or all my enemies are allies
And even then I will sleep with an open eye
Yeah, yeah
Because the night is long and our foes are strong
But I know that the road that we're travelling on
It only seems so dark because we've almost reached the dawn
Oh no

And I don't care if I lose
Because my heroes did too
They shouted, Court should be adjourned because the jury are fools!
And the judge can't decide his his left from his right
Or his right from his wrong

And we will bite the hand that thieves
We will not turn the other cheek
This is no threat, it is a promise we will keep
So what's the point pretending
When we've seen behind the curtain
And there's nothing much to see
Oh yeah

And everyone will claim
That they knew from the beginning
That what they did was wrong
But they still just went on sinning
The sudden rush you feel when realizing
Everything you know will fade away
It haunts you, dear
But you won't want to let it go
Someday we'll lose the war
But until then we will dream of winning

I won't forget the things you said when I was down and I was tired of it
The words you spoke, they brought me home

When it was time to fight, we chose a side
But everyone knew that something didn't feel right
So we stood our ground and waited for a sign

When it was time to fight, we chose a side
But everyone knew that something didn't feel right
So we stood our ground and waited for a sign

You said don't look back
Don't look down
Oh! We won't look back
We won't look down
We've gone too far
We're too high off the ground
The bridge was burned
The lesson learned
