Lyrics

Every day I live the trauma again

Experiencing recurring trauma daily.

I'm placing this out in the open

Sharing and expressing the pain openly.

I've become one with my pain

Identifying with and embracing the pain.

I have no choice in this anymore

Feeling a lack of control or choice in the matter.


My burning frustration

Expressing intense frustration.

Mind over matter but nothing to be said

Acknowledging the power of the mind but feeling unable to communicate.

Mind over matter but nothing to be said

Reiterating the inability to express thoughts despite mental strength.


In my home, in my haven

Once a comforting place, now filled with fear and pain.

It now brings nothing but fear and pain

Others witnessing the negative transformation in the speaker's home.

Each day the people around me get to see it

The daily impact of violence on those around the speaker.

This fucking violence

Strong disapproval and frustration with the prevailing violence.

Weak, I'm living out a fucking hollow existence

Feeling weak and living an empty existence.

Weak, I'm living out a fucking hollow existence

Repeating the sense of living in emptiness and weakness.


I wonder how much I underestimate myself

Reflecting on potential underestimation of oneself.

Cascading words that whirl within

Words and thoughts swirling within, causing internal turmoil.

You brought this all upon yourself

Attributing responsibility for suffering to oneself.

And the great sleep that lies upon my mind

Describing a profound mental burden (the great sleep).

You brought this on yourself

Reiterating self-blame for the mental burden.


My burning frustration

Reiterating intense frustration within the speaker.

Mind over matter but nothing to be said

Emphasizing the difficulty of expressing thoughts despite mental strength.


Am I fit to walk this path I've chosen

Questioning the suitability of the chosen life path.

Blinded by my own rage

Being blinded by one's own anger.

Crying for air, yearn to be free from despair, biting down through my tongue

Expressing a desire for freedom from despair and intense physical reaction to stress.

Blood swiftly wells in my lungs

Physiological response to stress, with blood in the lungs.

I will never be rid of this memory

Permanence of traumatic memory.

Left with me for eternity

Left with the traumatic memory for eternity.


Regurgitation of the pain

Reiteration of the continual expression of pain.

Regurgitation of the pain

Repetition of the ongoing regurgitation of emotional pain.
