devoured - amity grace lyrics
your voice was sweeter and softer when
i hear it first as a child
when i outgrew the monsters beneath my bed
you stuck around for a while
and you kept me sedated with sugared threats
and you twisted the things i desired
kept my shoulders heavy, imagined debt
and left me entrenched to the liar
and you cut me away piece by piece
and you thought i’d let you stay
thought you had power over me
but i will not be devoured by you
i know your traps and the tactics you use
the shame and fear, the lies and abuse
oh, i will not fall victim to you
i’ve grown to know you much better now
as you’ve siphoned the strength from my soul
in the end, you’re a th*rn that will be plucked out
a liar whose words lost their hold
the whispers of failure and fear and hate
that have taken up sp*ce in my mind
are being forgotten and then replaced
the darkness is breaking for light
and you’re grasping at strings that you used to pull
thinking they still lead to me
but you have no more real control
and i will not be devoured by you
i know your traps and the tactics you use
the shame and fear, the lies and abuse
oh, i will not fall victim to you
and would you be content to suck the marrow from my bones
leaving me broken and bleeding? i deserve to be alone
and years i ran to you unknowing what i took with me to bed
a cannibal, unsatiated, no matter how much he fed
you thought the chains were yours to lock
and what you stole was yours to take
but i saw a curtain ripped in two
i felt the ground begin to shake
i’m running to the one who loves me
standing by the one who saves
you tried to break a heart that’s spoken for
and that was your mistake
you tried to take a heart that’s spoken for
and that was your mistake
and i will not be devoured by you
i know your traps and the tactics you use
the shame and fear, the lies and abuse
oh, i will not fall victim to you
i belong to one greater than you
the king of compassion and champion of truth
and one day you’ll grovel and death will too
and i’ve been given victory over you
