Wash yourself off onto me
I have not seen the light in weeks
Noxious water
fought it off on my knees
I'm not helpless
I will bring my own peace
Is this how you speak to me?
vile yet eager
I am the least of your pain
self-defeatist
crippled by what's happening
I'm no pleaser
I don't go back to my place
Can you cope with listening
Gather pieces
but the reflection's too vague
aimless, joyless
Corrupt from power you save
I'm no master
If I'm not allowed to be
Is this how you deviate
Pry at weakness
Emerge from a silent pain
with no purpose
Collapse in front of your dream
I'm no pleaser
I'll show you what I've come for
Left with neglect
And loss, I will not remain
Why would I spend my time, spend my time
Waiting around for nothing
Is it not enough to say
I have been brave
It takes actions and actions, actions and actions
To mend what has been wrought
Who would remain
Spend my time waiting around for nothing
Who would remain
Spend my time waiting around for nothing to change

Playing synthesizer like an amazingly fun new toy, all the features of which he can't wait to explore, Devours sings, in a nice tenor, witty songs as self-lacerating as Morrissey's, without the crappy politics. voxpoptart
