The Damned - Richie Kotzen

You say you’re gonna help me

I see things in a way that’s too real

I really wanna trust you but I know you already made my deal

I’ve been driving all night, been running from the truth

And I’m stuck down in Rosemead trying to cut loose

You’ve got all your believers

Your water’s running blue but your hands are stained in red

Somehow I believe you but I know you manipulate the truth

The weight is getting heavy and I don’t know what I should do

You got me wrapped up somehow I’m so confused

But if you lead me to the fire I’m gonna light the fuse

A shrine for believers to hide what you can’t escape

It all looks so good with the lights off

You say ‘let me slip into your deepest dream and I will show you love'

God damn me for believing in you

God damn your system makes me do the things I do

Sink your knife it’s your nature to be cruel

God damn me for believing in you

Oh' I’m the damned

I’m right where you want me and I know I’m stuck in my shoes

I thought I was a rich man but now I’m broke from paying dues

You’re not a savior and now I know…

When you belong to the unknown, they never let you go
