Thick as Thieves

Would it kill you to breathe easy?

Only seventeen miles lay between you and me

I could make it if I had to

I don't break easily

You've got my counsel, thick as thieves

If there's a crime we'll keep it secret

For there's only trace amounts left in your blood

You may be a sinner

But you may be justified

Just keep your mouth shut

Keep your guard up

I swear I'll make it right

Will it kill me to breathe?

Not as easy as you think it is between you and me

I could fake it if I have to

I don't break easily

I need your counsel, thick as thieves

I have no crime to keep a secret

It was hers, it was not mine

Well I may be a sinner

But it wasn't me this time

Just keep your mouth shut

Keep your guard up

I swear I'll make it right

Listen to yourself

There is a hemorrhage in your mouth

It won't stop bleeding

Well you may be the trigger

I will hold the smoking gun

You'll get away clean

I'll keep your secrets 'til the grave has swallowed me

And I will never tell a tortured soul they are burning by my side

That I am a sinner

I am a savior

I am a lie

So keep your mouth shut

Keep your guard up

I swear I'll make it right
