I am merely the product Of the life that I've lived An amalgam of sorrows And the wisdom they give But the weight has grown heavy And its dragging me down It's so hard not to sink now But I don't want to drown
CHORUS I'm damaged But somehow I've managed This far But I don't know if I can find my way back home I'm damaged But somehow I've managed For now But I don't 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 don't know how I got here Lost in the cynical dusk Set adrift in the worry That I've no one to trust
(CHORUS)
If to suffer is holy I'll take my share of the pain I can swim through this sadness If there's 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
