I don't think you understand
the situation at hand.
I don't think you grasp quite what I said,
Stop and listen for a moment,
what's the reason I'm not dead?
I don't quite see the value to which I exist,
but I'm still pressing on so thanks for the assist.
Trust me, I know I have plenty a reason to fight,
why do you think I survive through each and every night?
Yeah all I knew was hurt and all I knew was pain,
all I knew was hurt.
The problem's not getting down
I simply can't pick my knees up from the dirt.
Alright, alright, I'll listen and take the vow.
just give me a second to wipe the sweat off my brow.
I know what it's like to be free,
I'll always make a choice.
You'll have to take my word that I actually used my voice.
I'm not looking for a "simple escape",
no I'm looking for a change.
My tears have dried,
now isn't that strange?
Strength is simply a defeat of your fears,
and fear is the reason for these tears.
I don't have tears to be rid of but that's okay,
I get what you're trying to say.
If I'm all that's left I'm still left alone,
which isn't too different from the life in which I'm thrown.
Banishing my memories, well,
that's easier said than done.
Try living with P.T.S.D. then tell me it's easily won.
I have a funny feeling you care more than you admit,
after all why would you type that up and then hit submit?
