"Love Is A Silent Thief" lyrics

"Love Is A Silent Thief"

Love is a deep wound
Love is a sharp knife
Love is a stranger
And love is a black light

Love makes you weary
Love reads the last rites
Love should be locked up
Love is a parasite

I don't wanna try and work it out
'Cause it causes too much grief
It's gonna tear you up and spit you out
Love is a silent thief

Love is a banquet
Of which we all feared
Hungry for more
But there’s never enough to eat

Love causes blindness
Gives you a cold sweat
Love is a language
Without an alphabet

All I know is we can't live without it
Falling over our feet
Slipping through our fingers as we try to catch it
Love is a silent thief

Love is a dry mouth
Begging for water
But there's only oil
It's getting hotter and hotter

Love is a stopwatch
Broken and twisted
When it takes hold
It's like you never existed

Here I go again for it, for it
That is my belief
My heart is open and I can't defend it
Love is a silent thief
