Damnation? Lyrics

Follow me down. Swallow it down.
A little bit of something instigating your frown.
The moon on the town, the blood on your gown.
You're always picturesque. Stomp the haunted mood in your crown.
I used to think about it then I...
Chose the word indulgence, now I...
Just need some more to stand my own.
Why I live this way? Who knows. Why I live this way? He knows.
Is this damnation? Or a beginning? I'll take "B".
Is this damnation? Or a beginning? I'll take "B".
Oh oh oh oh oh. So once again the thought into my.
And visualize the blood as the life.
Is to bend the wheel of my own kind.
I wish you'd see the hope in my eye.
All in all sublime on this side.
Then again you'd have to leave this life... ....behind.
Why I live this way? Who knows. Why I live this way? He knows.
Is this damnation? Or a beginning? I'll take "B".
Is this damnation? Or a beginning? I'll take "B".

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is a demo. Just like "Miss Bliss" and "Pillow your Eyes." "Pillow Your Eyes" was on there "Closet Cultivation Demo" along with "Bathe in my Snot" and "Speak Free."

Where could one here these demo songs, or this DVD Vol. that I've never even heard of: a website, a store, or just mp3 swapping.

It's not on the DVD. I downloaded it and it just finished and around 4:26mins so I think it's quite a long song.

Well, it was big when in the glory days of napster, i could guarantee it would have been on audiogalaxy, if it wasn't SHUT DOWN. Kazaa perhaps? "Damnation" is cool, "Pillow your Eyes" as well. Not as fond of "Bathe in My Snot." or "Miss Bliss."
