Young, Dumb, Damaged Lyrics

Enslaved and caged, I’m enraged

Slowly slipping towards my fate

Insane in a sick game

I don’t want fame, no

I just wanna be heard

But creative blocks in my way

Are causing me to murder any part of me

That stands in my own way

I reminisce back towards better

When things were simple, we were kids

We had nothing to lose

We had the whole world to gain

And we had something to prove

But life goes on and it slips through your fingertips

So now every second counts, every syllable from my lips

Humility and gratitude, they were just words to me

But now they form foundations of who I want to be

Because I’m lost and spiraling down

My brothers won’t lay me to rest

I’m gonna turn this shit around

And settle for nothing but the best

I’ll bring the pain coz I’m young, dumb, and damaged

I’ma bring that pain coz I’m young, dumb, and damaged

Pure love, peace, joy, happiness, and freedom

What do these words mean and do I even feel them

Are they just some slogans or some bumper sticker shit

Conveniently utilized whenever we see fit

I want the real thing, I wanna talk to God

But I can’t help realizing that something feels odd

When you’re talking to something

You know probably don’t exist

Stuck somewhere between agnostic and atheist

I know the devil’s real, I have seen him myself

He was in the mirror when I opened up the medicine shelf

Overdosed and saw him again at the tunnel end gates

They pumped my stomach and then he was in the nurse’s face

All I wanted was to die, don’t resuscitate, bitch

Now there’s pain on the faces of the ones I’m in the room with

Brought back into a fucking rotting world of shit

Surrounded by greed and hate that I must now live with
