THIEVES LYRICS

"The Wisdom Of Insecurity"

Neurotically artistic.
Emotionally submissive.
I only tried to be
half the man my family saw in me.
Perfectionism consumed me,
along with a shroud of hypocrisy,
but I'm coming clean.

My insecurities gain
nothing but failure and pain
and now I'm on my own again.
I got lost in a dream
and in fear of defeat,
the ones I love saw the worst of me.

This is a waging of war
with the man on the couch
who won't stop asking for more and more.
I'm always wishing while the moment's ignored.

I'll never forget when you said,
"You'll lie all alone on your deathbed.
Just you and your ego.
Cause' you'll never learn to love until you let it go."
Well, I'm letting it go.
After painful self-reflection,
pretension and my conscience have come to blows.
I will not die alone.
Today my heart begins to grow.

I only want to be the man my friends deserve from me.

Thanks to Rob for these lyrics
