Damnaged
The Color Morale Lyrics

You did well, devil
Acknowledging the devil that has caused chaos in the family

Family life
Talking about family life and the disconnection in it

It's like puzzle pieces disconnected
Using an analogy to describe how the family members are disconnected from each other

Pictures frames will never find
Describing how the family memories were never complete or perfect

This broken home my demons still reside
Acknowledging how the family members still have demons lingering in their broken home

You would think we could have lived together with all this hell inside
Expressing a wish that the family could have stayed together despite the inner turmoil

Mother, I just needed you to know
Addressing the mother and expressing a deep need to communicate something important

Something good grew out from all of the cracks inside our broken home
Recognizing how there can be positivity and growth found in difficult situations

I am a lonely soul, a kid flying his kite alone
Feeling isolated and alone, like a child trying to find joy on their own

Or am I just a head in the clouds, welcoming wind every time there's a storm?
Questioning whether the happiness found is genuine or just denial of the problems in the family

Where do I go now?
Feeling lost and unsure of what to do or where to turn

I grew up in a house God built with the devils blueprints with no foundation found
Reflecting on a childhood spent in a house that was built with bad intentions and no solid foundation

I went to hell to have some words with the devil about what he did, but it was empty
Describing an attempt to confront the source of the family's problems, but finding nothing

Everyone moved out
Realizing that there is no one left to turn to or rely on

And father, I needed you the most
Addressing the father and expressing a deep need for his support and guidance

But I'm still a kid in aging skin, a hypocrite trying to grow
Acknowledging the struggle to mature and grow despite feeling like a child inside

Every time I try
Explaining the difficulty in moving on and letting go of past pain

To bury the wreckage of that old house in my mind
Attempting to forget the traumatic experiences of growing up in a broken home

I see the same crow on the power line
Noticing a recurring symbol that reminds them of their past

He could have flown to any other home
Realizing that the crow could have gone anywhere, but chose to stay near their broken home

But he'll never stop chasing mine
Feeling haunted by the past and unable to escape it completely

It's a strange kind of comfort
Explaining how finding positivity in the midst of difficult situations can be strangely comforting

Learning to always love
Recognizing the importance of love, even in imperfect situations

The cracks inside broken homes
Finding beauty and growth in the imperfections of broken homes

And I will always love you both
Expressing an unconditional love for both parents, despite their flaws and difficulties
