i'm damaged goods, damn good when i'm damaged
you couldn't understand it if you tried to
why try to explain, when mystery is all it that takes to divide you
poets lie through their teeth, yet all you see
is a smile, small delusions and music,
two keys to survival
i feed on being misunderstood, patiently await your arrival
the fate of us all, you're mine for the taken, i just hope i survive you

and it goes, are you ready for war...and it goes

if i could be the only one, that you ever knew
if i could be the only one to hurt you
if i could be the only one
if i could be, then i would be
then i would be

if i could be the only one, that you ever knew
if i could be the only one to hurt you
if i could be the only one
if i could be, then i would be
then i would be

death, dishonor, misfits, dollars,
miscreants, daughter, misses her father,
daddy doesn't, miss madonna
if this dilemma ends tomorrow
i'll instigate an intifida, since an infant ought not
enter combat, infantry is instant slaughter
in the arms of ancient martyrs, infidels, forgive the violence
give the arms up to his the honor, seeking, driven
speaking, victims, we've committed, freedom, eager
women, children, birth to soldiers, words of pardons
please forgive my deity, i need need need

if i could be the only one, that you ever knew
if i could be the only one to hurt you
if i could be the only one
if i could be, then i would be
then i would be

if i could be the only one, that you ever knew
if i could be the only one to hurt you
if i could be the only one
if i could be, then i would be
then i would be

the fear inside, experience
where the fighters hear the lions,
hear them cry, the pain of gains
the loss of conquer, its off and on
and so often honor is sacrificed
to a cause of comfort,
the cost comes with a lot of authors
with all their offers to tell your story
from their office and for their parlors
their salons where they charm the cobras
mother, fathers, we're all disordered
the bomb plot has disarmed us,
guardians of royal sovereigns
forewarned us the hordes upon us
so tomorrow befall our charter
the call to arms from God the Father

if i could be the only one, that you ever knew
if i could be the only one to hurt you
if i could be the only one
if i could be, then i would be
then i would be

if i could be the only one, that you ever knew
if i could be the only one to hurt you
if i could be the only one
if i could be, then i would be
then i would be

if i could be the only one, that you ever knew
if i could be the only one to hurt you
if i could be the only one
if i could be, then i would be
then i would be

the only thing wrong…if i could be the only one
