lyrics

Damn
Words&Music by Pravinand Maharaj

This is the movement/ this is the moment
This is the minute I did not plan
You came from some place/ walked into my face
Now I'm still displaced
I love you damn

Where walks the mountain/ where flies the skyway
Where digs the meadow into the sand?
You were my water/ You were my laughter
Now you're my hereafter
I love you damn

Seems like I've drifted into a sleep
Seems like I've fallen beneath the deep
Seems like I've woken to another time
Seems like I'm paying for another's crime

The rain falls like acid/ the wind is a whiplash
I'm scourged like a martyr in every land
You gave me wisdom/ took away my freedom
You laugh at my kingdom
I love you damn

You opened the door to fury and wonder
You won't explain and I don't understand
You suck out my lust/ discard me like husk
I'm brittle like rust
I love you damn

Seems like I've drifted into a sleep
Seems like I've fallen beneath the deep
Seems like I've woken to another time
Seems like I'm paying for another's crime

This is the feeling you have been giving
You are the widow of every man
Someday you'll show me the way that you know me
But there's nothing you owe me
I love you damn
