The Damage Done Lyrics
I won’t waste away
I won’t let this take me down
I can’t survive
As long as I keep it around
I wish it would fade
But it will just sell me out
Over and over and over
I cried out loud
Somebody Save Me…
Somebody Save Me…
The race i run
It keeps me farther from
The man i could become
The damage done
I want to wash the filth away
Till there is none
I run till I break
From the way it would killing me
Profuse to the day
I’ll suffer afraid to speak
I carry the shame
And beg for a remedy
How long must I live
With the damage of my disease
Somebody Save Me…
Somebody Save Me…
The race i run
It keeps me farther from
The man i could become
The damage done
I want to wash the filth away
Till there is none
***[Guitar Solo]***
The race i run
It keeps me farther from
The man i could become
The damage done
I want to wash the filth away
Till there is none
I won’t let this take me down
I can’t survive
As long as I keep it around
But it will just sell me out
Over and over and over
I cried out loud
Somebody Save Me…
It keeps me farther from
The man i could become
I want to wash the filth away
Till there is none
From the way it would killing me
Profuse to the day
I’ll suffer afraid to speak
And beg for a remedy
How long must I live
With the damage of my disease
Somebody Save Me…
It keeps me farther from
The man i could become
I want to wash the filth away
Till there is none
It keeps me farther from
The man i could become
I want to wash the filth away
Till there is none

well! maybe this song is appeared on the album as a bonus track, but it's better than almost all of the songs we hear on the radio nowadays. does anyone else think the solo is a bit like metallica's Fade to Black?
The chorus is wrong. It's supposed to say:
The race I run It keeps me farther from the man I could become
This song is amazing, so annoyed it wasn't on the version of the CD that I have!
I won't waste away, I won't let this take me down I can't survive as long as I keep it around I wish it would fade, but it will just sell me out
Over and over and over, I cry out loud - "somebody save me... somebody save me..."
The race I run, it keeps me farther from the man I could become The damage done, I want to wash the filth away 'til there is none
I run 'til I break from the weight of what's killing me Profuse to the day, I suffer, afraid to speak I carry the shame and beg for the remedy How long must I live with the damage of my disease?
An anthem to all of us who struggle after the damage done has destroyed everything. I did not make any big mistakes. Just many tiny harmless mistakes honestly trying to help. Now the damage done is too big. Heavy lyrics for heavy hearts. It hurts like hell but relax, listen to Alter Bridge and get up. Thank you AB for this music that inspires me to fight another day.
