Story Behind The Song
This song, as usual, was floating in the air around three in the morning--hovering for a while just over my easy chair. I grabbed a handy sheet of paper and smacked it against the ceiling like I do when I'm attacking a spider.
When you love someone you never stop loving them even if you tell yourself you don't. You always love the person or the memory of the person in the place and time you fell in love with them. This song is to everyone through the years who still have bits and peices of me.
Song Description
"Steal My Stuff" is an up-beat song sung by a broken hearted emotional massachist, as are we all. It's about relationships at their dreadful end, each one stealing bits of the other. It's also just a good old song to wail and sing. Especially during a breakup.

Lyrics
My chest has no treasure no more
You left me in a heap on the floor
When you stepped that sordid step out my door
And I can still hear it beating
I can still hear it beating
And I don't know what you're taking it for
Go on
Steal my stuff
Take all my worthless stuff
Go on...
Don't stop 'til you get enough
Now I'm walking in the sunshine
And I'm bumping into things just like I'm blind
It's like when you took off you took off with my mind
And now I don't know what I'm saying
No I don't know what I'm saying
And I don't know if you ever were mine
And if you want my sanity
It's on the table with the forks and knives
Right there in front of you
Come on you know you wanna take a bite
