Thick As Thieves

Would it kill you to breathe easy?

Only 17 miles lay between you and me.

I could make it if I had to.

I don't break easily.

You 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.



Well, 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 there 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.
