"Beware! Criminal" as written by Ben Kenney, Brandon Charles Boyd, Michael Aaron Einziger, Christopher E Kilmore and Jose Anthony Pasillas Ii....
You crawl in bed its 3 am you
Smell of wine and cigarettes
A butterfly under the glass; you are beautiful
But your not going anywhere
We do the same thing everynight I
Swear I've heard this song before
A swimmer who has seen a shark, I should
Really be more wary of the water
You came you saw you conquered everyone
And I'm left here guessing o what went wrong
Yeah I'm down but not out and far from dome
Hey all! beware! criminal
A prism with an intellect
You throw your light selectively
You stole my glow a seasoned thief, the blacks
Of my eyes are turning into opals
Today I walk there's nothing left here for me
But empty promises and the though of
All the things I'm never getting back
You came you saw you conquered everyone
Now I'm left here bleeding
Oh what went wrong
Ya I'm down but not out
And far from done
Hey all! beware! criminal
Did you think did you think I wouldn't notice
Did you think did you think did you really think I wouldn't care
Smell of wine and cigarettes
A butterfly under the glass; you are beautiful
But your not going anywhere
We do the same thing everynight I
Swear I've heard this song before
A swimmer who has seen a shark, I should
Really be more wary of the water
You came you saw you conquered everyone
And I'm left here guessing o what went wrong
Yeah I'm down but not out and far from dome
Hey all! beware! criminal
A prism with an intellect
You throw your light selectively
You stole my glow a seasoned thief, the blacks
Of my eyes are turning into opals
Today I walk there's nothing left here for me
But empty promises and the though of
All the things I'm never getting back
You came you saw you conquered everyone
Now I'm left here bleeding
Oh what went wrong
Ya I'm down but not out
And far from done
Hey all! beware! criminal

*A swimmer who has seen a shark, I should
Really be more wary of the water
those two lines speak to my last point there.
All in all this, in general, speaks to a betrayed guy who's been dragged through the mud by a girl who was never ever who she portrayed herself to be. She stole money from him (essentially, he lies kept the relationship going, so he'd spend money on her) and she stole his heart while cheating on him and giving more sex to others then to him. Lastly she never loved him and he was simply there to drive her places and be her robot boy she could manipulate and control at her whim.

I should really be more wary of the water "
GREAT!!! one of my favs of ACLOTM
I should really be more wary of the water"
He knows what she's doing to him -- using him in some way for sure, but more specifically, it sounds to me like she's cheated in the past -- and he didn't have the heart to stand up for himself (possibly still doesn't?).
We do the same thing every night
I swear I've heard this song before
A swimmer who has seen a shark
I should really be more wary of the water
I too agree that he was being used in some way and he remembers how it felt to be used by someone/anyone and he feels that way now. He claims that he should really be more wary of how deep he gets into situations like these. It sounds like a lamentation to all of us to beware of the "criminal" ...whomever it may be.
