"PTSD"

 

I can't sleep because

the shadows will get me

 

PTSD

 

I'm paranoid, because of you

all the things you put me through,

all the things you did, 

or didn't do...I love and I hate you

 

(I don't want to do either)

 

and maybe I'm a little bit angry

I think I've earned that

But when I see your faces 

in my dreams...I scream

 

PTSD

 

(you still terrify me) 

 

I tell myself I am healing

then shadows return

they control me, and paralyze me

Oh, how I wish shadows could burn...

 

and free me...please free me
