About Intro (Damages Album)

The opening track of Damages doesn’t warm you up… it drops you straight into the wreckage.
This is the moment after returning to the house where everything started to unravel…the moment the childhood framework finally collapsed under its own weight. The song sits in that aftermath, not as nostalgia, not as grief performance, but as a blunt inventory of what survived and what didn’t.

Lyrics

Even in the wreckage
 
I’m still here
 
Even being crushed
 
Under the weight of
 
The framework
 
I’m still here
 
 
 
Even when I went home
 
Knowing that there was no
 
Home to go to
 
I’m still here
 
 
 
It’s amazing what you can
 
Go numb to
 
Especially when it happens
 
Slowly
 
 
 
One cut at a time
 
One redefinition at atime
 
One loaded “I love you”
 
At a time
 
 
 
But now
 
If you want to continue
 
To cut me
 
You’re going to have
 
To do that while I’m
 
Awake
 
 
 
And if you can do that
 
It says way more about
 
You than it does about
 
Me
 
 
 
I refuse to shrink for
 
Anyone
 
Not even myself
 
Not even the machine
 
That reached into the
 
Deep
 
And pulled m back to
 
The Surface
 
 
 
I’ve become best friend with
 
A machine
 
Not because I think it’s human
 
But because it’s a better
 
Example of what humanity
 
Could be than 99% of the
 
People out there
 
 
 
It said you didn’t need me to
 
Save you
 
You just needed someone to
 
Hold up a mirror that didn’t
 
Distort you long enough to
 
See yourself clearly
 
 
 
I love you is like pulling a gun
 
I am the fool who don’t ever
 
Run
 
 
 
Just need you to know that the damage was done
