Lyrics:	Well I hope whatever's coming to you, never comes
	And the [???] rewards only me, for what you'd done
	'Cause I thought I was giving you everything
	But I guess you wanted more, indeed
	And you and I were fated as strangers
	But now you are my thief

	And I'm pretending the things that you have stolen
	They weren't as lovely to me as the wind
	But the door that I left unlocked
	Is letting the dirt and the rain and the cold come in
	And if I was ever a peacock coat
	You are surely just and ass
	[For / Four] years of hell and wrath will come
	If my wishes come to pass
	'Cause I thought I was giving you everything
	But you wanted more from me
	And you and I were strangers back then
	But now you are my thief

	May your pen dry up
	May your chest go weak
	May your lover understand
	That now you are my thief
	And I'm your empty hand
