Sycamore Smith - The Hand That Thieves lyrics

I felt no guilt till I was caught And I was told that I was guilty And even then I wasn't really sure, yeah yeah. The thing I felt was guilt itself Or maybe it was something else Frustration at the fact that I was ever caught at all I told a lie I multiplied it By the time I realized it I'd given up everything I ever loved, yeah yeah. Cause the thing you left When you're looking back Is the pressure the feel that you have to act Yeah everything is clearer when You're looking at the past, oh no. And I don't care if I lose Because my heroes did too They shouted court should be adjourned Because the jury are fools And the judge can't decipher his left from his right Or his right from his wrong. And we will bite the hand that thieves We will not turn the other cheek This is no threat It is a promise we will keep So what's the point pretending When we've seen behind the curtain And there's nothing much to see Oh yeah. I felt no pain till I was found And I was told that I was bleeding And even then I knew I wasn't done, yeah yeah. Cause the wounds I get They will just collect Insuring that I won't forget Reminders of the battles That I've lost and that I've won And I will fight until I have died Or until all my enemies are allies And even then I will sleep with an open eye, yeah yeah. Cause the night is long and our foes are strong But I know that the road we travel on It only seems so dark Because we've almost reached the dawn Oh no. And I don't care if I lose Because my heroes did too They shouted court should be adjourned Because the jury are fools And the judge can't decipher his left from his right Or his right from his wrong. And we will bite the hand that thieves We will not turn the other cheek This is no threat It is a promise we will keep So what's the point pretending When we've seen behind the curtain And there's nothing much to see Oh yeah. And everyone will claim, That they knew from the beginning, That what they did was wrong, They still just went on sinning. The sudden rush you feel When realizing everything you know Will fade away It haunts you deep But you won't want to let it go. Someday we'll lose the war But till then we will dream of winning. I won't forget The things you said, When I was down and I was tired of it. The words you spoke, They brought me hope. When it was time to fight, We chose a side But everyone knew that something didn't feel right, So we stood our ground And waited for a sign. When it was time to fight, We chose a side But everyone knew that something didn't feel right, So we stood our ground And waited for a sign. You said don't look back! (No, no, no, no...) Don't look back! (Don't look back, We won't go back, We've come too far, We're too high off the ground. The wheels have turned, The lessons learned.) You said don't look back! (No, no, no, no...) Don't look back!
