Devotion And Desire

I'm trying to create something that's not there
A spark I saw. 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
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?
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
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?
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
