Catharsis Rising

Numb skin Holding breath Shadows cling Can't forget Woke up screaming in the silence of my room Hands around my throat But no one's really there Every mirror shows the bruises I can't see Pushing down the pain But it always pulls me near Heart racing Walls closing in Can't run from what lives within This trauma carved into my bones Bleeds through every smile I fake alone Screaming silent in the dead of night Personal hell, no in sight Torn apart But still I fight Trauma's grip Stealing my light Friends ask Why I'm always fading out Lies the Hide the storm inside Nights Nights replay the words that cut so deep Buried secrets rising No place left to hide Pulse pounding Memories spin Drowning deep where I begin This trauma carved into my bones Bleeds through every smile I fake alone Screaming silent in the dead of night Personal hell, no in sight Torn apart But still I fight Trauma's grip Stealing my light One day I'll break These chains you forge From ashes Rewrite the score No more victim in your twisted game I'll claim my fire Scream your name This trauma carved into my bones Bleeds through every smile I fake alone Screaming silent in the dead of night Personal hell, no in sight Torn apart But still I fight Trauma's grip Fading from my line Fading now Breath comes slow Healing scars Let me know Letting go
