lyrics

Thought I got it out, thought I talked about all this stuff
an acceptable amount, that I’m ready now, that it was enough
But one word, one smell, breaks me
Some song up and takes me
back where it began, and my body’s slamming shut

Like sinking in a sea
Strikes from an enemy I don't see
Tight muscle memories
I can’t run, fight, wake, or scream

Back up with a plan, try it all again, feeling less sound
Took a lot of hits getting over it, still I rebound
The knock down drag down crazes
Fires in my safe spaces
burning me away and I feel ashamed somehow

Like sinking in a sea
Strikes from an enemy I don't see
Tight muscle memories
I can’t run, fight, wake, or scream

Might get the best of me
Strikes from an enemy I don’t see
The mind knows, but the rest of me goes to dark and deep
history, EMDR me
