If I had the choice
I would stay outside
On the porch
In the cold
In the silence
It would be nice to believe
You could just put your childish wounds away
And forget and just breathe
I would do anything to be that way
Oh I'm acting such a fool
Don't look at me
I've got deep and open open cuts
That will not stop bleeding
No matter how much gauze I tried to place
So much red was pouring out of me
Pointless efforts to be cool yet on my face
Still I feel no one really tried to care
The dire way you do
Well I'm feeling so contrived
And home is where I go to cry
Repeating myself to no end
But I feel much better when I find
You're losing your mind too
Shut your eyes I'll see you soon
We'll see this end
My trauma friend
Well you've been trying your best to smile
But you can't deny the fear
That's all those people see in you
No matter how much chlorine you had piled
Couldn't kill what's overgrown
And you may be close
But you may only feel that way
For a little while at most
Still you feel no one really tried to care
The dire way I do
Well you're feeling so contrived
And home is where you go to cry
Repeating yourself to no end
But you feel much better when you find
I'm losing my mind too
Shut your eyes I'll see you soon
We'll see this end
My trauma friend
Several years ago we met and grew close (Before the weight of the world came back down on us)
I know that you're sad (But now we're older we don't have to be scared of one another)
Oh I feel much closer (Closer to you than anyone else)
Oh will you let me comfort you? (And love you much more than any of them will)
Oh what I'd give to hold you (Please understand that I'm suffering as well)
Shut your eyes I'll see you soon
Shut your eyes I'll see you soon
Shut your eyes I'll see you soon
We'll see this end my trauma
It would be nice to believe
You could just put your childish wounds away
And forget and just breathe
I would do anything to be that way
Hey now
Don't set yourself away from me now
Hey now
Don't let yourself away from me now
We'll see this end
