The Mission - Damaged

So you find it hard to face the cold harsh light of day

Hiding in the shadows of resentment and blame

The argument for violence over reason holds no sway

No matter what you promise I don't think you'll ever change

Damaged, you're oh so damaged

So you can't exist without your powder and pornography

It's a dangerous place where the white line makes you go

Armed with wide-eyed logic and a hand me down biography

There's a devil inside when the mirror's covered in snow

Damaged, oh so damaged

Don't you think you're taking just a little too much for granted

Crawling from the wreckage of another crashed car

And don't you think you're taking just a little too much advantage

Climbing up to heaven just to piss on the stars

Damaged, oh so damaged

The Mission - Black & Blue

It's always the same, I'm always to blame
Your accusations leave me numb
And how I regret how you always forget
The violence and damaged done.

You always bring me down, you always bring me down
But I come crawling back to you and then you beat me
Black and blue, black and blue
I could never explain, the seduction of pain
It's like a bad drug I can't hick
And how can I resist when you seduce with your fists ?
Boys will be boys when the blood runs quick

You always bring me down, you always bring me down
It's a mystery to me how cruel you can be
You always bring me down, you always bring me down
But I come crawling back to you and then you beat me
Black and blue, black and blue

The Mission - That Tears Shall Drown The Wind

I can't believe that you've been faking all this time
That's such a spiteful thing to say
I can't believe you never really cared
How am I supposed to know that you feel this way ?

I don't see how it matters now
That tears shall drown the wind
I don't see why it makes you cry
That tears shall drown the wind

I never promised you that the stars would come to us
You have to know I never lied
I know you feel it's like waiting for the end of the world
Sometimes it's easy just to let ot, let it slide

I don't see how it matters now
That tears shall drown the wind
I don't see why it makes you cry
That tears shall drown the wind

There ain't no sense in making accusations
No matter if you're wrong you're always right
There ain't no point in recrimination
I really don't have the strength to put up a fight

I don't see how it matters now
That tears shall drown the wind
I don't see why it makes you cry
That tears shall drown the wind

The Mission - Dying Room

My mommy don't want me, daddy don't want me too
Nobody wants me, left me in the dying room

I ain't seen sunshine, never felt the rain
Never tasted joy, but I know pain

So please don't leave me, in this god forsaken hole
Please believe me, don't wanna die here alone

You stand accused, wish I'd never been born
Feel so abused, no one to mourn, the dying room

My mommy don't love me, daddy don't love me too
Nobody loves me, dying in the dying room

You turn away, and you shield your eyes
Feel so betrayed, feel so despised, in the dying room
