Intro – spoken, raw, tense] Ugh… I can’t run from this anymore. Every chain drags me back to the past… ⸻ [Verse 1 – stop–go, sharp delivery] Every scar is a tie I can’t sever, Every memory feels like forever. I cut the rope, but it pulls me back, Living on the edge of a heart attack. I hear echoes of the pain I’ve known, Every voice is a ghost I own. I try to heal but the wound won’t hide, I’m alive, but I’m dead inside. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – building, falsetto + grit] And I can’t escape (escape!), The trauma in my veins. Every step I take, Drags me back again. ⸻ [Chorus – soaring, anthemic] I’m traumatized, I can’t break free, These trauma ties are strangling me. I scream for help, but no one comes, Just shadows dancing in my lungs. I’m traumatized, I can’t let go, A prisoner of the pain I know. The chains I wear are all I find… I’m traumatized inside my mind. ⸻ [Verse 2 – heavier, guitars punch in] Every night is a war I fight, Dreams turn cruel when I close my eyes. I bury hurt in a shallow grave, But the dirt just whispers my name. I’ve been running but the past won’t fade, Every bond is a curse I made. No salvation, no disguise, Just another day I’m traumatized. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – repeat, screamed harmony behind] And I can’t escape (escape!), The trauma in my veins. Every step I take, Drags me back again. ⸻ [Chorus – repeat, bigger] I’m traumatized, I can’t break free, These trauma ties are strangling me. I scream for help, but no one comes, Just shadows dancing in my lungs. I’m traumatized, I can’t let go, A prisoner of the pain I know. The chains I wear are all I find… I’m traumatized inside my mind. ⸻ [Bridge – breakdown, screamed / half-time] TEAR THE CHAINS! (tear the chains!) LET ME BLEED AWAY THE PAIN! EVERY TIE I TRY TO HIDE— DRAGS ME DEEPER, TRAUMATIZED! (whisper → scream) TRAUMATIZED! ⸻ [Final Chorus – soaring, layered screams + clean vocals] I’m traumatized, I can’t break free, These trauma ties are strangling me. I scream for help, but no one comes, Just shadows dancing in my lungs. I’m traumatized, I can’t let go, A prisoner of the pain I know. The chains I wear are all I find… I’m traumatized inside my mind. ⸻ [Outro – fragile, piano/heartbeat fade] Inside my mind… I’m traumatized.
