Damned

[Chorus]
It's a beautiful sound and I hear it clearly now
I have been saved, though so far from grace, can't hold me down
You just don't understand exactly who I am
Inside and out, I am free now, can't hold me down

[Verse 1]
Hot damned if I do and damned if I don't
I swear you think that I had slit somebody's throat
But you can tell your lies and judge another's life
But I don't

Oh and they've been sayin' to god they have been prayin'
"To free your troubled son from the lust that's overcome him
From light, oh he has strayed, to the men which he has laid
Oh, he goes"

"Yeah the devil's really got him and he don't wanna let him go"

[Chorus]
It's a beautiful sound and I hear it clearly now
I have been saved, though so far from grace, can't hold me down
You just don't understand exactly who I am
Inside and out, I am free now, can't hold me down

[Verse 2]
Hot damnation fuels me, fear they used to rule me
Doesn't make a difference so you can try to fool me
I know who I am and I know the master plan
So just go

Oh, and they've been cryin', say I was never to tryin'
To turn to "better ways", well, I found my better days
So take your rhetoric and all of your heretics
And let go

"Yeah the devil's really got him and he don't wanna let him go"

[Chorus]
It's a beautiful sound and I hear it clearly now
I have been saved, though so far from grace, can't hold me down
You just don't understand exactly who I am
Inside and out, I am free now, can't hold me down

[Bridge]
I am always gonna live my truth
Cause I had to live so long for you
And you can take me as I am, damned
Or not at all
