The loud screech
Penetrating every pore
You watch as she struggles
Kicking and screaming
Through life
Screaming those long dreadful shrieks
That no one seems to hear
Except you
Watching ever long
Wanting, needing to intervene
Tell her you hear
Tell her you care
Tell her you understand
But you are lost in the crowd
Shuffled away
Lost from sight
In an endless wave
The screams growing fainter and fainter
Until finally
A sharp life silences them

Breaks you knees and steals your soul
Stabs you in the back don't you know
The Life Thief oh the Life Thief
Traps the eyes in the storm
Beats you in your own damned home
The Life Thief kill the Life Thief
Hide the scars and free the barred
Make them rue the day for
Putting you all you went through
The Life Thief  you've killed the Life Thief
Never forget Never forgive
You did what you had to live
The Life Thief you've become the Life Thief
Oh the Life Thief
