The Devastated Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

""I think of the many nights I've wasted trying to figure You out. Ignoring my gut Maybe I just needed to pick You up? I extended my arms Out and got pulled right The fuck down. Yeah I take A minute to remember how I got here then I realize I just wasted sixty seconds I'm going to have to kill the Regretful thought you've instilled It's you that you betrayed Who will save you now that you've Drained all the good from me? A product of you now. Who will save you now? Plague you forged this storm That hovers me manipulating Now I finally see how truly Miserable you make me I'm breaking free Now it's time to go back to the Gutter that I found you in With all of your wonderful Friends or what's left of them I'm positive they'll smell your Stench and flee to the sewers Instead you can pick up right Where you left off a chip on Your shoulder and a mouthful To talk. Go spit it all over the Block make me the topic of Your day It's you that you've betrayed My breath of fresh air slowly Disappeared with a long deep Inhale merry christmas happy New year Given in whole to you you gave Me back the pieces minus a few And scattered them about now I'm left alone to sort them out I won't be checking lost and Found I'm leaving the bitch At the pound""
