I hate how fast it takes me back

One tiny thing and my mind cracks

Yeah, I left that hell

But I'm trapped

Screen buzzin through the room

Wide awake, sometime after two

Some old movies playin' low

Ain't really listenin' to it though

Then some kid jumps into a lake

And somethin' inside of me breaks

That giant's on my chest

And I'm that kid again

Fightin' for every breath

Closin' my eyes

Tryna drown it out

But somethin' inside screams

Let me out

I hate how fast it takes me back

One tiny thing and my mind cracks

Yeah, I left that hell

But I'm trapped

Suddenly I'm throwin' that screen

Hard as I can into the wall

Smashing every damn piece

'Til there's nothin' left at all

I can hear myself screamin

I can feel that rage boilin

But the room fades back

That movies still playin

I'm just sittin' in silence

And it never happened at all

I hate how fast it takes me back

One tiny thing and my mind cracks

Yeah, I left that hell

But I'm trapped

Stuck fightin' ghosts that ain't even there

I ain't throwin' fists

Ain't makin' a sound

But inside my head

I'm burning the whole damn house down

Yeah, you can escape hell

But it don't make you well

Sometimes you're stuck fightin' a battle no one hears

Wonderin' how the hell you've made it through the years

When your own mind keeps beating you black and blue

And just keeps repeating that hell you been through
