Damned - Headstones

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
