DEVOTION

I’m stubborn as hell

I’m a bull in a china shop

Won’t stop ringing the bell

‘Til there’s no one left hearing it

I’m in for the kill

Yeah I deal with it

I’m Sisyphus

Pushing up on that hill

Maybe it’s fate but I’m still fighting it

Only say what I mean

Only take what I want when I need it

And I need it

‘Cause when it’s over

Yeah I’ll have nothing to show but the feeling

I’ll wanna break

But I won’t let the heat touch the bone

Yeah I’ll make myself go through the motions

‘Cause when it’s over

I’ll paint a picture and they won’t see past it

The oldest son of the only son standing alone

Won’t let go because I’ve got devotion

I put on a face when I know trouble’s coming

But I don’t count it a joy

The truth is my words, they mean nothing

Grudges burn slowly

I could play holy

Tell myself it’s for a cause

Never face judgment

‘Cause I’m too busy carrying a cross

And when it’s over

Yeah I’ll have nothing to show but the feeling

I’ll wanna break

But I won’t let the heat touch the bone

Yeah I’ll make myself go through the motions

‘Cause when it’s over

I’ll paint a picture and they won’t see past it

The oldest son of the only son standing alone

Won’t let go because I’ve got devotion

I, I, I’ve got devotion

I’ve got devotion

I, I, I’ve got devotion

I’ve got devotion

I, I, I’ve got devotion

I’ve got devotion

I, I, I’ve got devotion

I’ve got devotion

(I, I, I’ve got devotion

I’ve got devotion)

Is it devotion?

Or is it my will’s too strong?

Is it generational?

And it keeps passing along?

I got it from my father

And he got it from his

Got this fight in me

And I gave it to my kid
