"Damned" lyrics

"Damned"

Damned if I haven't seen the bottom
Damned if you think you've seen the depth
Fooled by the things that I've forgotten to remember
In the seconds that I had left to connect

When hesitation kills you
I'm pretty sure it kills us all
Damned if I haven't burned some bridges
Doomed by the nature of the game
Fooled by the fact that we cannot take it with us
And we become accustomed to the pain

Damned the risk is often worth it
Flying over chasms of defeat
Fooled by the sun just coming up behind me
But you can't count on that performance to repeat
When hesitation kills you
I'm pretty sure it kills us all
When calculations fool us
We never really had that long

Damned if you really think about it
Doomed if you never think at all
Repelling down the mountain of certain death and failure
And hoping that it don't end in a fall

And the hesitation kills you
I'm pretty sure it kills us all
When calculations fool us
We never really had that long

Damned if we haven't burned some bridges
Doomed by the nature of the game
Fooled by the fact that we can't take it with us
And we become accustomed to the pain

Damned if you didn't mend some fences
Doomed to the fields of regret
Fooled by pride and the precociousness of ego
There was nothing left of me the day the angels wept
