'Damned' is a story about a man struggling with thoughts of suicide and if he should go through with it or not.

I wish I could say I had a dark time in my life that inspired this, but I really don't. I can say, as with most people, that there have been times I have had contemplating thoughts, but they never moved any farther than that. I took some of those thoughts and embellished them to create this story.		 Lie close to me my dear and hold me in your warm embrace
And help chase away the fears that this man is afraid to face
When I'm in your arms, I feel like I'm immune
From the evils of this world, kept safe inside your sacred womb

And when I asked the devil, he said he would
And when I asked the angels, they said they never would
And I can't decide if I will or if I won't
What is the lesser of two evils?
Damned if I do and damned if I don't

I know it's been a long time since we really talked
I just needed time alone to try and sort out all of my thoughts
Because I've been struggling with my demons trying to get them to retreat
Now I sit with my head in my hands ready to admit bitter defeat

And when I asked the angels, they said they would
And when I asked the devil, he said he never would
And I can't decide if I will or if I won't
What is the lesser of two evils?
Damned if I do and damned if I don't
