Thief In A Sleeping Town Lyrics - Common Rider

Started running just as soon as my feet hit the ground 

If I was looking for something 

Then it's something that I still haven't found 

Saw the modern age lay a generation to waste 

But I swore it would never see my back bone break 

Ever feel like a thief in a sleeping town 

Just like there were dogs trying to track you down 

Ever feel like you don't even know what to steal 

Saw an emptiness behind the promise of technology 

Saw it swallow up souls but it will never drop the freeze on me 

Saw the chill of annihilation creep into the young 

Saw it go untreated 

Saw them stockpiling guns 

Chorus 

We're gonna steal back hope from the modern war
