lyrics

The trauma lives for years past the angry faces,
flooding tears, the make ups, the break ups,
fear of retribution, the scars run deep that define our confusion
the trauma lives for years past the angry faces.

Got my ticket to freedom but I still can’t fly,
can’t take the steps to release my pride,
it’s no mystery what’s holding me back
as I keep one eye open for the coming attack.

Don’t need a relationship to define my worth, no,
I keep dragging my own self down like a love-less curse, yeah,
the trauma lives for years, but we have to find a way
to break free of this cell in which we reside.

Scar tissue forms and we break it,
we smile and we work as we fake it -
always searching for signs of a real dawn -
we’re just pawns in the drama where insecurities are the gods,

All we are searching for is a break from the past, where
we can be free of our own definitions
desperate but never finding a permanent solution -
clinging to the world instead of the Self.

Sreejit Poole Seattle, Washington

Blues-Folk-Poetry-Soul to bridge the heart and mind - a little bit of emotional instability to open up the possibilities - old school for the old souls, and we are all old souls after all - just in want of a little humanity.
