Victim and Thief

VICTIM AND THIEF Your life is nothing until your death You were never there until you’d left You never know until you don’t You never would until you can’t You’ll never see until you’re blind You’ll lose your head if you don’t mind Everything you forget is lost Everything is free, plus cost Everybody’s owned subliminally Everybody’s labeled criminally Nothing’s healthy but your wounds Nothing painful is over soon Oh the living you will do! Now that the dying one is you No one’s ever young until they’re older Everyone is cold until they’re colder
