Thief

Well, hello there Anomalies. Happy Hot-As-Hell-Run-Up-The-Light-Bill Summer!

I wrote Thief in high school and recorded this demo in college. I always get a little heart string tug when I hear it because it reminds me of a time in my life when I didn't have a license, couldn't drive and spent a lot a time at home alone playing piano and writing songs.

This song is about starting over in a relationship with a blank slate and forgetting what happened in the past. Don't ask me why I wrote about that in high school because I had zero relationship experience at this point.

Maybe all of those Days Of Our Lives soap opera characters my mom watched when I was little subconsciously inspired me. Bo and Hope anyone?

The Soap Box Anomaly

Thief

What's the matter, did I see your smile fade? (Who's the thief in your face)

It doesn't matter, you won't shatter what we've made (Love is what I embrace)

So who is right? And who is wrong? A blame game, I won't bother to care

The only answer that I give is that I love you, this I swear

In the past, there was too much confusion

Why should you put your heart through persecution

When all that I request from you

Is not much just what I expect to do

Unconditionally, I will shower all my love

Release all of your fears into oblivion

What's the matter, can't we just forget the past? (Who's the thief in your face)

It doesn't matter, close and locked the doors at last (Love is what I embrace)

So who was first? And who was last? A time game, I won't bother to play

The answer solution that I see is to apologize and say

In the past, there was too much confusion

Why should you put your heart through persecution

All that I request from you

Is not much just what I expect to do

Unconditionally, I will shower all my love

Release all of your fears into oblivion
