Residents Devotion Lyrics:
Shortly after I first met them, something that I
said upset them and perhaps we should have parted
then. I was saying how important that they were
and what a fortune could be made if they would let
me try. But I did not understand why they took in
and had to stand by those who were so worthless to

disdain and criticize someone who has been
compromised but really have no values of your own,
so maybe you should leave and find some, steal or

would suggest that I should levae, and what was

strutting. And I admit it stunned and humbled me.
So I begged and then beseeched them, "Let me stay
and you could teach some sense into this tired old
mind of mine." And of course we reconciled with
hugging arms and tugging smiles that left me more
secure, but still in doubt. I truly loved and felt
devotion for them both, but I was broken up and
feeling powerless inside. I must become important
to them, intertwined with roots into them, or else
I'd loose my false and newfound pride.
