[Intro] (Am I Damned?...hell yeah) (RyFi on the track) That desert heat hit different, man. See things on the horizon that ain't even there yet. She was in my head for weeks before she stepped foot on the sand. I should've known. I should've seen the omens. (Let’s go) [Verse 1] Se stepped off the Llano with a plan and a purpose Red dust on the designer, yeah she’s scratching the surface Old soul in the eyes, yeah I noticed that first Every man in the county thinking they can quench the thirst But she’s laughing at the punchline 'fore I even get it out Chemistry or alchemy? That’s what it’s all about First night that she stayed, yeah the coyotes went dead Not a howl, not a growl, just the static in my head From here to San Antone, yeah the silence was a weight I called it a coincidence, but I was sealing my fate. [Chorus] The good ones feel like love till they don't (till they don't!) She reading my face like a script that I wrote (that I wrote!) Written on the inside, she’s deep in the throat Of the soul and the marrow, yeah she’s keeping my soul I understand now... what she was. (Am I Damned?... hell yeah) [Verse 2] Three days in and the milk turned sour Dogs cross the street every time she hit the hour Mama calling on the line with a feeling she can’t name Said "Son, you playing 'round with a supernatural flame" That’s the curse talking, baby, it’s a hex in the air If a ghost announces presence, then it wasn't really there She touched my face with the palms of her hands Like she’s reading the map to the forbidden lands I’m a vessel, I’m a victim, I’m a king on a throne But I’m sitting in a palace made of rhythm and bone. [Electric Guitar and Synth Solo] [Bridge] Tuesday in October and the sky turned green Atmosphere is breaking, yeah you know what it means Feathers on the windowsill, ancient and gray Swept 'em to the side that’s the debt I gotta pay She smiled at the dinner like the job was all done I’m the moon in the shadow of a black-hearted sun Llano wind in the window, the venom is in the feathers Omens and women, we're changing the weathers Marrow and shadow and sorrow embedded Ending the beginning where the dimensions are headed I’m pendant, I’m stuck in the medicine, wrecking and beckoning Fending the reckoning, look at the seconding! [Chorus] The good ones feel like love till they don't (till they don't!) She reading my face like a script that I wrote (that I wrote!) Written on the inside, she’s deep in the throat Of the soul and the marrow, yeah she’s keeping my soul I understand now... what she was. [Outro] Tried to leave twice, hit the county line wall Turned the truck around like I meant it, after all It wasn't my idea. It was never my choice. She never lied to me, I can still hear the voice. Never said she was safe. Never said stay. She just dissolved into the stars and she faded away. Coyotes started up, yeah the silence is through Reaching for a word that I never even knew. She took something I can’t even name, Still looking West, all the same… (West... West...) I’m Damned…
