Devastate Me Lyrics by The Mommyheads

Vulnerable Boy

2012

Down a hidden path, in a concrete cell
Chained up to a wall and forgotten long ago
The only crime you done, the only guilt they found
Is when you say my name
My world comes crating down
Engraved in mind, from a long forgotten day
In the attic of my heart, it's like you never went away
I petition your release, your life I beg to spare
But one thing you don't know
I was the one who put you there
You devastate me
‘Cause you devastate me
You devastate me
The hook you hide is patient
The wound you cut is ancient
The more I fight, the more I sink down
Into your heavy hands, your touch is quicksand
Until I don't understand what’s happening to me
We jumped into the fire, for you I volunteered
But when it was your turn, that's when you disappeared
To have and to hold until death do us part
You were the first too break my will
And the last to break my heart
Down a hidden path, in a concrete cell
Chained up to a wall and forgotten long ago
I petition your release, your life I beg to spare
But one thing you don't know
I was the one who put you there
You devastate me
‘Cause you devastate me
You devastate me
The hook you hide is patient
The wound you cut is ancient
The more I fight, the more I sink down
Into a depiction, my life becomes fiction
Asleep under my skin, is the concrete cell within
I can feel your heavy hands, your touch is quicksand
Until I don't understand what’s happening to me
