thick as thieves

Would it kill you to breathe? Is it only 17 miles Lay between you and me? I could make it if I had to I don't break easily You got my council thick as thieves If there's a crime we'll keep it secret For there's only trace amounts left in your blood You may be a sinner But you may be justified Just keep your mouth shut Keep your guard up I swear I'll make it right Will it kill me to breathe? Not as easy as you think It is between you and me I could fake it if I have to I don't break easily I need your council thick as thieves I have no crime to keep a secret It was hers, it was not mine Well, I may be a sinner But it wasn't me this time Just keep your mouth shut Keep your guard up I swear I'll make it right Well, listen to yourself There is a hemorrhage in your mouth It won't stop bleeding Well, you may be the trigger I will hold the smoking gun You'll get away clean I'll keep your secrets 'Til the grave has swallowed me And I will never tell a tortured soul There burning by my side That I am a sinner I am a savior, I am a lie So keep your mouth shut Keep your guard up I swear I'll make it right
