No Bird Sing - Confession of the 40th Thief [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Chorus:
At the foot of the father like father ‘ What is the problem?
Can’t see the road so how could I follow?
Got all choked up so how could I swallow?
Your medicine but better yet let it soak in the sacrament so 39 thieves
Couldn’t rob us of our sacrilege

39 thieves ‘ Teach you a lesson
The 40th fell into the hell of his confession
Down down never came back back up up

Verse:
Wave hits ’ Mind freezes up
Sky splits ‘ I gotta pick the pieces up
Find the shards they’re buried in the garden
Hide your charge cuz it’s a long way home
Step lightly and careful ‘ You might see 39 thieves
Down on their knees and it depends on the season
If there’s snow on the ground there’ll be blood in the ice
You’ll be tempted to join ‘em now
They think I’m crazy ‘ has anybody saved me yet
I think I’m poisoned ‘ living under constant threat
Is this the plot or better yet an imposter?
Like me the life we lead is easily broken

Bridge:
Never thought I’d have to do this alone
Hold on so I won’t break
Feeling just a little bit better
Never knew how much my fingers could take
Hold tight to the side of the cliff now
This is it now you’re never gonna get down
Reach for the ground until it picks you up
You see it’s never enough until it lifts you

Chorus:
At the foot of the father like father ‘ What is the problem?
Can’t see the road so how could I follow?
Got all choked up so how could I swallow?
Your medicine but better yet let it soak in the sacrament so 39 thieves
Couldn’t rob us of our sacrilege

Verse:
I trusted the rats swimming away from the sinking ship
And left you to save face
Been thinking since then
The cracks in this skin are way to exposed to go away
If there’s another chance ‘ I don’t wanna take it this time
It’s my interpretation of the last mistake
That makes good and evil simple as a line
Down the middle of my spine
As the thought of you in broken space
There’s a laugh and whisper in the next room
Catch a draft ‘ feel a quiver ‘ make ya head swoon
Pretty pretty angry ‘ ugly ugly awake
We’re living on different pages ‘ Forgetting all the same poems

Bridge:
Never thought I’d have to do this alone
Hold on so I won’t break
Feeling just a little bit better
Never knew how much my fingers could take
Hold tight to the side of the cliff now
This is it now you’re never gonna get down
Reach for the ground until it picks you up
You see it’s never enough until it lifts you up
