Assemblage 23 Damaged

I am merely the product



Of the life that Ive lived



An amalgam of sorrows



And the wisdom they give



But the weight has grown heavy



And its dragging me down



Its so hard not to sink now



But I dont want to drown







CHORUS



Im damaged



But somehow Ive managed



This far



But I dont know if I can find my way back home



Im damaged



But somehow Ive managed



For now



But I dont think I can face this on my own







There is beauty in hardship



There are poems in grief



There are trials we must go through



Though they may shake our beliefs







But I dont know how I got here



Lost in the cynical dusk



Set adrift in the worry



That Ive no one to trust







(CHORUS)







If to suffer is holy



Ill take my share of the pain



I can swim through this sadness



If theres something to gain







I can reach for the surface



And try to pull myself free



But the last thing I want is



To drag you down here with me







(CHORUS)
