Stealing from a Thief

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Don't want a life like my parents had
Don't want a life like my rich friends have
Don't want to live by association
Don't want to live the great maybe

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I want a life not a name online
I want to live it in real time
I want a life just so I can be
I never asked what was in it for me
I never asked what was in it for me

[Chorus]
Stealing from a thief
My humanity
I know my name, I know my pain
I know my frequency
Stealing from a thief
Dancing with the beast
I know my name, I know my pain
I know my frequency

[Verse 2]
As a kid I'd play make believe
As a man I play make believe
As a kid I'd do anything
As a man I do everything

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I live my life centered and humane
I live my life like a man insane
I want a life just so I can be
I never asked what was in it for me
I never asked what was in it for me

[Chorus]
Stealing from a thief
My humanity
I know my name, I know my pain
I know my frequency
Stealing from a thief
Dancing with the beast
I know my name, I know my pain
I know my frequency

[Bridge]
I get up, I get up, I get up and go
I grab a hold and reach way down
To find something that I really believe
I don't need to console myself
If I don't like what I see

[Guitar Solo: Paul Crook]

[Pre-Chorus]
I never asked what was in it for me

[Chorus]
Stealing from a thief
My humanity
I know my name, I know my pain
I know my frequency
Stealing from a thief
Dancing with the beast
I know my name, I know my pain
I know my frequency
