Devotion and Desire Lyrics

I‘m trying to create something that‘s not there.
A spark I saw as a bomb is really just a means to an end.
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.

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.
This situation’s unbearable, I’ve gotten vulnerable.
So 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.

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?
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?
I know the spark inside your eyes was just the match I used to set myself on fire.

Set myself on fire.

How on earth has no-one commented on this amazing song yet? When I heard this, I came in my pants..

First off this whole album is amazing. To me this song means that he's tired of being alone and even though he knows it's not going to work with this girl, he's going to try everything to keep it going. And the girl is playing along, I guess she's trying not to hurt him. But in the end that hurts him more because he's put himself out there only to get hurt.

He's being strung along by this girl.He's desperate to find that there's something real between them when she's just being a flirt saying stuff like she wants to be with him but she isn't and doesn't want to be. RIP John Beatz
