Surviving Flames: Cherry Rype's Poetic Journey Through Emotional Turmoil
Lyrics
I used to think about the way
I used to reflect on how
You swung at my face
You physically attacked me
When everything fell out of place
When everything in life became chaotic
I had no way to escape
I felt trapped with no way to break free
The only thing that helped me forget
The only relief from those memories
Was seeing him in your trace
Was visualizing another person in your place
I knew I couldn't hold on for long
I understood I couldn't endure it for long
It burned and now is engulfed in your
It was painful and now it's consumed in your
Flames
Fiery emotions
Panic every night
Anxiety every night
I'm not alright I need peace
I'm struggling, seeking peace
Can't get rid of this PTSD
Unable to shake off this PTSD
Imagine life without me
Envision life without my presence
You'd be so fucking boring and I
You would be mundane, and I
Was always who you'd perceive
Was always the person you perceived
Can't get rid of this PTSD
Can't escape this PTSD
Everything fell out of place
Life spiraled into chaos
I had no way to escape
I felt trapped with no escape
The only thing that helped me forget
The only solace was replacing you in my thoughts
Was seeing him in your trace
(Free from this PTSD)
(Rid of this PTSD)
I knew I couldn't endure it for long
I knew I couldn't hold on for long
It was painful, now submerged
It burned and now is engulfed
In your flames
Anxiety every night, I'm not okay
Panic every night I'm not alright
Yearning for tranquility
I need peace
Unable to escape this PTSD
Can't get rid of this PTSD
