Devour My Passion

Its amazing how much I chose to expose Put our lives center stage on a spot-light pedestal Read allowed every stanza that I'd never really heard Understood the real message, Not just a mixture of words As every line flowed right back through me, I realized your words have more of a meaning In the time line of my life, no matter how fleeting, The thought of you is as easy as unconsciously breathing Forever's just word with an ever changing meaning And after everything is said and done, I'm still stuck here singing...      Write me a song, Sing it louder then before Devour my passion Then show yourself the door It never was enough, no matter how much baggage I tried to give up You were starting battles while I was ending wars But do not confuse a warm welcome, for an always open door I have spent a lot time where I am, whether you know I have or not, I wasn't willing to give up my land I was refusing to sell my lot, But the lot that I was trapped in, Was borrowed from the start So when they took it from me, I found a home inside my heart I worked hard for the family that I would die for today, "We can't pick ones we started with," but we can pick the ones who stay Write me a song, Sing it louder then before, Devour my passion Then show yourself the door Complications have me lost in a mental whirl-wind Never have I felt more lost, Then when you've felt more certain I'm curious to know my love, If you've thought about it much, Did you ever stop to question, Have you always pictured us? I've read what you have written, About everyone else it seems, I wonder if you still like to write Anything about me Write me a song Sing it louder then before Devour my passion Then show yourself the door
