"Damaged Goods" lyrics - JOEL HOEKSTRA'S 13

Welcome to my great demise the product of my schemes, yeah
Just a human sacrifice, while living out these scenes
Slave to your grind I have been, how long it's hard to tell, yeah
Once what seemed was heaven sent, delivered only Hell

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
Now I strive for solitude that only drives me mad
Comfort in my attitude, I wallow in the bad

[Chorus 1:]
Only, I'm only damaged goods
Only, I'm only damaged goods

Now the latest reach from me, has opened up a door
My weary eyes surprised to see, a healer kept in store
Like a thousand points of light that only shine on me, yeah
Painting a new universe exposed for all to see

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
I don't deserve it, it's illusion, isn't what it seems
Will my reserve and my confusion kill another dream

[Chorus 2:]
Only, I'm only damaged goods
Only, I'm only damaged goods

[Bridge:]
Well I know it and I show it, I'm grappling with truth
Will you feel, I'm not real, the trauma of my youth exudes
Only damaged goods
Only damaged goods

Pre-chorus 3:
I've never been a stable person, far as I can tell
But if I 'cause you any pain, just know I wish you well

[Chorus 3:]
Only, I'm only damaged goods
Only, I'm only damaged goods
Only, I'm only damaged goods
Only, I'm only damaged goods

[Outro:]
Welcome to my great demise
I'm damaged goods
