Trauma: Door Slam Crescendo Songtext / Lyric

I tried to be someone, scorched feathers upon the sun.

I tried to pretend this here world was not painful or real at all.



I tried to be like you, hide away from the cold harsh truth.

Cracked reflections of the hero & the heroine I once knew.



I know it's hard, I know it's real.

But now I have become someone that you could never heal.

And I tried like you never, you left me to teach myself.

And I cried & swallowed my tears, salty exhausted fears.



I tried to teach myself but I couldn't unlock my cell.

I tried to douse the ice & fire, to melt, to quell this frozen hell.






I know it's hard, I know it's real.

But now I have become someone that you could never heal.

And I tried like you never, you left me to teach myself.

And I cried & swallowed my tears, salty exhausted fears.

And I lied to protect you both & I still suffer to help.

And my scars still tear open even after all these years.



And I tried like you never, you pushed me to the edge.



I tried to help myself but I really need your help.

I tried to be someone that you could both be proud of.

Be proud of me.



And I tried like you never, you left me to teach myself.

And I cried & swallowed my tears, salty exhausted fears.

And I lied to protect you both & I still suffer to help.

And my scars still tear open even after all these years.
