Lyrics Dearly Devoted -

Dearly Devoted

Their fields were once so pretty
Now a bomb fails to justify where they slipped in our defeat
Those conversations spoke volumes to me
I built a foundation on reasoning
And aimed to discard grandeur for beauty
No longer digging through the hurt to find the worst
In a cycle we needed to break
If this microphone is a vehicle for change
Then we must resist the vacancy that’s blanketing
I will take my aim from the same old place
Sheltering my spirit from the emptiness that pervades
In a Removal Act tactic they ripped from history’s playbook
Like a reared-up disguise in a mellow sunrise that hides then blinds our purpose
We make a choice to think or fail:
A principle that unveiled itself to me and never left my side
Because my mind belongs to me and my spirit belongs to me
I’m not giving it all away
Im not trading conviction for apathy
Im not giving it all away
Im not trading this clarity for anything
