Damaged III - Refused

We never speak of what we really are

Project it outwards, our insides filled with scars

We gladly cow to everything we hate

To fit the mold presented as our fate

And my future is my enemy

Become the thing I know is killing me

Go, I’m damaged and I’ve always known

Go, I’m damaged and I’m not alone

Go, I’m damaged and I’ve always known

I’m not alone, this prison will not be my home

All stoic heroes with medals on our chests

Stiff upper lips but turncoats nonetheless (Turncoats nonetheless)

Every concession leads us closer to our death

I taste the toxins, haven’t cried them out yet

And my future is my enemy

Become the thing I know is killing me

Go, I’m damaged and I’ve always known

Go, I’m damaged and I’m not alone

Go, I’m damaged and I’ve always known

I’m not alone, this prison will not be my home

I have violence coursing through my veins (My veins)

I have war coursing through my veins (My veins)

I have abuse coursing through my veins (My veins)

I have deception coursing through my veins

I have violence coursing through my veins (My veins)

I have war coursing through my veins (My veins)

I have abuse coursing through my veins (My veins)

I have deception coursing through my veins

Go, I’m damaged and I’ve always known

Go, I’m damaged and I’m not alone

Go, I’m damaged and I’ve always known

I’m not alone, I’m not alone

I’m not alone, this prison will not be my home
