Damned if I haven't seen the bottom Damned if you think you've seen the depth Fooled by the things that I've forgotten to remember In the seconds that I had left to connect When hesitation kills you I'm pretty sure it kills us all Damned if I haven't burned some bridges Doomed by the nature of the game Fooled by the fact that we cannot take it with us And we become accustomed to the pain Damned the risk is often worth it Flying over chasms of defeat Fooled by the sun just coming up behind me But you can't count on that performance to repeat When hesitation kills you I'm pretty sure it kills us all When calculations fool us We never really had that long Damned if you really think about it Doomed if you never think at all Repelling down the mountain of certain death and failure And hoping that it don't end in a fall And the hesitation kills you I'm pretty sure it kills us all When calculations fool us We never really had that long Damned if we haven't burned some bridges Doomed by the nature of the game Fooled by the fact that we can't take it with us And we become accustomed to the pain Damned if you didn't mend some fences Doomed to the fields of regret Fooled by pride and the precociousness of ego There was nothing left of me the day the angels wept
