"Damned If I Do (Damned If I Don't)" lyrics

Cut me down
Level with the dirt
Cast me out
Leave me with the hurt
Everybody's gotta feel it
I guess it's my turn
I'll be just fine
Living on the outside

Damned if I do, damned if I don't
Step back, I'll reap what I sow
Death has never felt so close
But I found hope in a hangman's rope

Come on, cut me down
Level with the dirt
Cast me out
Damned if I do, damned if I don't
No judge, no jury, straight to the gallows, drop
Close your eyes, embrace the end
Death to the false self, begin again

To make suffering my triumph
When it refused to let me go
I succumbed to it, I embraced it
Destroying every image manufactured in your fucking mind
Who am I? I will decide

Cut me down
Level with the dirt
You can cast me out
But you can't tell me who I am
Damned if I do, damned if I don't
Step back, I'll reap what I sow
Death has never felt so close
But I found hope in a hangman's rope
Come on, cut me down
Cast me out
