I Am Damage

(album: Anger Denial Acceptance - 2012)

It dies, drowned
In bottled misery
Decay a design of the therapy
At birth, broke
It's out of control
Repeating the cycle and evolving down a hole
Constrained, chained
With the force of a tourniquet
But it bleeds and it's out of control
Unhinged, lost
And completely devoid
Running in circles trying to fill another void

This life (I am)
Devised (damage)
Demise (this time)
Repeating the cycle

This time (I am)
I die (damage)
Inside (this time)
Repeating the cycle again

I try to reason with myself

This time, I've found
A trigger to the rage
Diseased with the anger still enraged
Blind, now
It's under control
I'm falling to pieces but I still won't let it go
Too late, hate
It's out of control this time
Break the cycle at the end of the line
Consumed, torn
And dying within
Trying to fight but I don't know where to begin

This life (I am)
Devised (damage)
Demise (this time)
Repeating the cycle

This time (I am)
I die (damage)
Inside (this time)
Repeating the cycle again

And it comes right back to me
Like a fucking catastrophe

You'll see me devolve to nothing
It's just the way it is
Recognize the damage I've become

I am the
Damage born again
Cast out the creation of my descent
Degrade, hate
Everything close
I'm over it all but I'm still not in control

This life (I am)
Devised (damage)
Demise (this time)
Repeating the cycle

This time (I am)
I die (damage)
Inside (this time)
Repeating the cycle again

And it comes right back to me
Like a fucking catastrophe
