Damage Process

You'll only bleed when you pull the knife out
Go ahead, make it quick
Someone said it's worth the risk
Remember standing in the lawn at midnight?
Summer rain turned to mist
Made you doubt if you exist

And you don't understand
Why that darkness seems so safe
Or why you hesitate to return
Why the silence brings escape
Why you long for empty space, space, space

Then it hits you like a fly ball
Decades later in a nightmare
The void behind the door
What was stolen, what was gained
Where you started, why you changed
Follow the trail, lose it in the cobwebs
Look ahead and it never ends
Damage process, damage process

Choose to live in the present moment
It's the only fight you'll win
There's a wave building fast behind you
It catches everyone in the end

You didn't know back then
Though you could hardly call it bliss
It hadn't showed up yet
Shutting down in self defense
Forcing your body to resist, resist, resist

Then you wake up in a cold sweat
And it grinds you into concrete
How the hell did i run so far?
Long forgotten, never dead
Instructions carved into your head
You're not special, you're not alone
You have nothing to call your own
Damage process, damage process

Damage process, damage process
