the ballroom thieves - hymn #101 lyrics

[verse]
well, i’ve come to know the wishlist of my father
i’ve come to know the shipwrecks where he wished
i have come to wish aloud
among the overdressed crowd
come to witness now the sinkine of the ship
throwin’ pennies from the sea top next to it

[verse]
and i’ve come to roam the forest past the village
with a dozen lazy horses and my cart
i have come here to get high
to do more than just get by
i have come to test the timber of my heart
yeah, i’ve come to test the timber of my heart

[chorus]
and i’ve come
to be untroubled in my seeking
i’ve come
to see nothing is for naught
i have come to reach out blind
to reach forward and behind
for the more i seek, the more i’m sought
yes, the more i seek, the more i’m sought
[verse]
well, i’ve come to meet the sheriff and his posse
to offer him the broad side of my jaw
i have come here to get broke
and then maybe bum a smoke
and we’ll go drinkin’ two towns over after all
oh, we’ll go drinkin’ two towns over after all

[verse]
yeah, i’ve come to meet the legendary takers
and i’ve only come to ask them for a lot
oh, they say i come with less
than i should rightfully posess
i say “the more i buy, the more i’m bought”
and the more i’m bought, the less i cost

[chorus]
and i’ve come
to take their servants and their surplus
and i’ve come
to take their raincoats and speed
i have come to get my fill
to ransack and spill
i have come to trade the harvest for the seed
yeah, i’ve come to trade the harvest for the seed
(hey)
[verse]
well, i’ve come to know the manger that you sleep in
i’ve come to be the stranger that you keep
i have come from down the road
but my footsteps never slowed
before we met, i knew we’d meet
yes, before we met, i knew we’d meet

[verse]
and i’ve come here to ignore your cries and heartaches
and i’ve come to closely listen to you sing
i have come here to insist
that i leave here with a kiss
i have come to say exactly what i mean
and i mean so many things

[chorus]
and you’ve come
to know me stubborn as butcher!
you’ve come
to know me thankless as a guest
so, will you recognize my face
when god’s awful grace
it strips me of my jacket and my vest
and reveals all the treasure in my chest
