Damn You

Steve Vai

Suddenly the guilt is written on your face

God only knows how down deep it goes

Nothin left to say in this pitiful state

I'm takin' the shame out on a song



I need to settle down maybe

Take some pity on myself



Damn you, I said damn

My mind is better off dead

Damn you, I said damn

Who are these voices in my head



Someone poured cold cement in your soul

And now all the beautiful colors are turning to gray

I notice you're happy only when you're miserable

(like some other people I know)

You love to eat your heart out just for the taste



We bleed so preciously, baby

Hopeless refugees of war



Damn you, I said damn

My mind is better off dead

Damn you, I said damn

Oh, God, I feel like I'm shot in the head



Into the air and into the lungs

And then down under the skin

Sweetly feeding the blood becoming

Part of the flesh part of the bone

Becoming the brain & blackening the soul



Hip hip hip boom boom way to go

I got a brand new me I don't even know

Before I get a little sick or a

Little cold, there's just one thing that you should know



We scream so desperately, baby

Choking on the words as they fall



Damn you I said damn

My mind is better off dead

Damn you I said

I can't stop these feelings
