(Don't Break My) Devotion

Science in motion, moving prime

Loops in lockers and stitches in time

Forcing the wish of an illusory drape

The mother of pearl, an impatient snake

I care, I can’t tell you how many times

That I’ve been in here in waitin'

Listenin' to the beatin' of rainin'

And the clatter of faith

Ripe for the pickin'

I'm yours for the takin'

Textbook, clockwork, loyalty in motion

Drowning in vain, complicit emotion

Time and tide provide all the pushes and pulls

To foster and feeling when you find yourself reelin'

You gotta reach, reach, gasp, deep and full

How many lives can one love maintain?

Desiccated and seeded and thrown off and slain

What we want we can’t get away

'Cause if I did what I’d done I can’t forgive what I say

I've blocked all dedication and given my trust away

Don't break my devotion, it's just a push away

I see what you're thinkin' and it makes me sick

Don't think I'll use everything I've got, every last book in the trick

At the edge of the city it’s okay to scream

Don't break my devotion, don't waste one dream

Don't do it, don't do it

I’m ripe for the pickin' but I love it when you can’t see me comin'

(How many lives can your love maintain?)

I’m yours for the taking now watch me stop

(How many lives can your love maintain?)

I've lost all dedication and I've given my trust away

(How many lives can your love maintain?)

Don't break my devotion, it's just a push away

(How many lives can your love maintain?)

Don't you dare, don't you dare
