Songtext Damage is done Rise Against

Damage is done

We fell for the line, now down on our knees
We bought every lie then started to see
Now my stomach's turning, I can't see straight
There has got to be a better way now

Why can't you just let me break down?
'Cause I can't keep up with this pace now, you know

I'm burning it down, I can't take any more
The fear of what's lurking behind every door
Permanent shadows and an absence of light
Waiting for answers to fall from the sky
Trying to go back to the way that it was
Picking up pieces, yeah, but the damage is done
Oh, the damage is done

I opened the door 'cause I couldn't wait
To see what's inside, I had to escape
If you are the sunshine, then I am the rain
This place is familiar, but feels so strange now

Why can't I just find a way out?
Lost in the maze, deep down where nobody knows

So I'm burning it down, I can't take any more
The fear of what's lurking behind every door
Permanent shadows and an absence of light
Waiting for answers to fall from the sky
Trying to go back to the way that it was
Picking up pieces, yeah, but the damage is done
Oh, the damage is done

Pretty as a picture
Perfect as a crime
Burning like a blister
Spreading like a fire, like a fire
Like a fire

I'm burning it down, I can't take any more
The fear of what's lurking behind every door
Permanent shadows and an absence of light
Waiting for answers to fall from the sky
Trying to go back to the way that it was
Picking up pieces, yeah, but the damage is done
Oh, the damage is done
