Damage from Live by Hacienda Gardeners

I walked away from her
I didn't say how I felt
Should've told her and now
I'm all alone
She'll never know how I feel
Why couldn't I just be real?
It's plain to see that there's no hope for me
She's out and about with other guys and now
I'm stuck inside just trying to survive
Stuck in the darkness
I can't see the light
Why didn't I tell her how I felt?
I'm kicking myself
I'm off the rails
No happiness and no freedom
She's gone forever and I've been living in hell

My enemy wants to destroy me
They gossip and lie out in society
While I am trapped in these four walls
No way to defend myself
That's why I'm writing these songs
I'm not too far gone although they say I am
That I'm washed out
Frankly I don't give a damn
People can see my side of the story
I'm not in the heat melting
I won't accept defeat

This oppression's been dragging me down
They claim I'm a clown while they remain on the ground
They slander me
They make up all their lies
I've gotta escape this fate
They just can't wait
They gossip about me in society
To all of my friends and family
It's sad to see
All their atrocities
They slander
They're toxic
'Cause they are so diseased

They can't remember
They don't know how I feel
They're so fake and so unreal
They can't deal with all the damage they've caused
Can't turn back
Tried but they can't press pause
It's a shame that I'm under attack
Won't take any flack and I'll push them back
They won't back down
They want me to fall
But I won't give up and I will stand tall
