What We Have We Steal Lyrics
Shut down the disease,
Brush it aside and stand up off your knees.
Tip the scales.
Spin me some horrible, beautiful tales.
'Cause now you're weak,
And you're tired and lonely.
You can't see
What could be
Yours for keeps all the while.
You can take what you want,
But you're not so nice any more.
Everything we have we steal.
Run your fingers over me.
Pull away the skin, uncover the disease.
With a weakness and a tenderness we kiss.
Consuming each other all over again.
You can take what you want,
But you're not so nice any more.
Everything we have we steal.
We steal.
We steal.
You can take what you want,
But you're not so nice any more.
Everything we have we steal.
Brush it aside and stand up off your knees.
Tip the scales.
Spin me some horrible, beautiful tales.
'Cause now you're weak,
And you're tired and lonely.
You can't see
What could be
Yours for keeps all the while.
But you're not so nice any more.
Everything we have we steal.
Pull away the skin, uncover the disease.
With a weakness and a tenderness we kiss.
Consuming each other all over again.
But you're not so nice any more.
Everything we have we steal.
We steal.
We steal.
But you're not so nice any more.
Everything we have we steal.
