No Devotion

(album: Atonement II: B-Sides For Charity - 2020)

You have left me here to bleed
(You have left me here to bleed)
But you won't get the best of me
(Won't get the best of me)

Always grasping onto something
That's just out of my reach
Caught between familiar feelings
Of anxiety and peace
Condition to the pain
Holding on to my disdain
Giving all until the emptiness
Is all that remains

You have left me here to bleed
There is no devotion
But you won't get the best of me
I have no devotion

I can see the doubt in your eyes (Doubt in your eyes)
It's just yourself that you despise
Victimize, twist the knife inside the womb
Paralyze so the pain won't faze you
Tranquilize, put me under, hold me down
Suffocate, in your bitterness I drown

You have left me here to bleed
There is no devotion
But you won't get the best of me
I have no devotion

Crawling on my hands and knees
My anger becomes my peace
You won't get the best of me
I have no devotion

When you've given everything
And have nothing left to lose
When you come back to life (To life)
Break this cycle of abuse
Are you strong enough?
Can you give it all?
And when you've left this all behind
Your spirit will heal in time

No devotion
You have left me here to bleed
There is no devotion
Crawling on my hands and knees (Hands and knees)
My anger becomes my peace (My peace)
You won't get the best of me
No devotion
