God ain't shined no light on me, since I started to crawl
Every prayer hit the ceiling and fell on deaf walls
Mama called me chosen, preacher called me damned
They tried to wash my sins, but the devil took my hand
My heart turned black before I learned sin's name
Trying to change just fed the flame
Every step toward grace, I lost my way
Some souls ain't built for the light of day
I was damned from the cradle, born in the flame
A sinner by blood, not by name
Every dream turns to dust, every love turns to pain
But I found my peace in the burn and the chain
Ain't no light calling, no soul to chase
Just me and my demons and their warm embrace
40 years old, I've seen enough to know
The ones front row in Church cast the darkest shadows
Every time the cross makes the evening news
Another screaming child, another soul abused
So I drink with my demons, they don't pretend
At least they're honest when the night won't end
And I made peace with the silence, I made peace with the sin
'Cause truth don't hide where the light's grow thin'
Heaven feels wrong, and hell feels like home
I'm tired of chasing light through places I don't belong
The fire's familiar, it whispers my name
I was forged in the dark, and I'll die in the flame
So fuck it if I'm damned, then let it be done
If the devil's my father, I'm his favorite son
I'll tilt back the bottle, let the dark take hold
Set fire to the world with this broken soul
Turn my back on heaven's gate and all its hypocrisy
Embrace the fire and brimstone for its honest honesty
'Cause down here there's no crowns, no kings to please
No fake salvation, just truth and disease
I was damned from the cradle, doomed by design
Hell's in my heart, but the fire feels fine
Every dream turns to dust, every love turns to pain
Now I dance in the dark and don't curse the rain
No prayers left, I've accepted my place
Where God won't look, and the devil gives grace
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
I was damned from the cradle
