lyrics

pas·sion
n.
A powerful emotion, such as love, joy, hatred, or anger.

Ardent love.
Strong sexual desire; lust.
The object of such love or desire.

Boundless enthusiasm
An abandoned display of emotion, especially of anger.

This is Passion in it's purest form.
This can never be taken away from us.
It does not matter how many people listen.
The only thing that matter's is that we tried to reach them.
Whether it be a basement with 10 kids in it or a hall packed with 200,
our motive will always remain the same.
This is our everything. This is all we have left.
This is who we are.
Affection,Dedication,Intensity,Desire,Devotion.
Since when did these words become frowned upon?
What it comes down to is ignorance.
I tell you the name of my band and you laugh right in my face.
Say whatever you want. Think you're better then us.
Just know that we are doing this for all of the right reasons.
This is Passion in it's purest form and it will never be taken away from us.
Let the feedback ring, Let the spit fly, Let the strings break,
because this is the most amazing feeling that I have ever felt.
It's been a while since I've cared about anything.
It's been a while since I have felt this alive.
This is what defines me. I wouldn't have it any other way.
Screaming my guts out in front of complete strangers.
I have never felt like this before. So this is what it feels like to be alive?
