Bayside - Devotion And Desire Lyrics






Trying to create something that's not there.
A spark I saw as a bomb is just a means to an end.
And I was just so happy to be out of my shell again,
don't think that I really cared for who or what.
So for now I'll just have to keep it shut.

If you're not ready, you're not ready.
Please stop acting like you are.

How could I know
that everything you say are lies about devotion and desire?
And I know the spark inside your eyes
was just the match I used to set myself on fire.

My mouth's shooting blanks.
Situation's unbearable,
I've gotten vulnerable.
Now anyone is free to waltz right in.
My temple's been invaded
and there's nobody guarding it.
All over this lonely life,
but what's so wrong with being all alone?
Alone's the only way I've ever known.

If you're not ready, you're not ready.
Please stop acting like you are.

How could I know
that everything you say are lies about devotion and desire?
And I know the spark inside your eyes
was just the match I used to set myself on fire.

I'm pleading cause this kills and it's still bleeding.
My darling I'm taking my life back to start healing.

How could I know
that everything you say are lies about devotion and desire?
And I know the spark inside your eyes
was just the match I used to set myself on fire.

Bayside Devotion And Desire Comments
  1. P.... f....

    I kissed a guy for the first time last night and he sent me this song this morning. What does that mean

  2. S.... S....

    This is "True Emo". Not the emo ruined by greedy corporations trying to milk off every dollar from you by over saturating it with generic chord progressions and non original lyrical themes.

    Bayside knows how to play emo the right way. I feel that they play more of a tougher emo with more originality in their lyrics.

    This is awful. Was more awful is these comments and thinking about all of you who had to listen to this crap back in junior high Or high School. You guys had nothing like seriously nothing to listen to and your generation. My generation had Nirvana Soundgarden Pearl jam Alice in chains Stone Temple pilots Green day bush nine inch nails Junior high.. then high school we had Pantera Korn Marilyn Manson Deftones..

  38. f.... b....
