Arthur - Shadows of Trauma Lyrics

In the silent night, I can't find sleep,
Fragments of memories, like nightmares creep,
Every moment, like a blade so sharp,
Cutting deep into my heart, these scars I can't discard.
Daytime's noise can't drown the fear inside,
Every flashback brings back the pain I hide,
I try to smile, to mask the wounds unseen,
But every night in solitude, I silently scream.
Post-traumatic stress, shadows by my side,
Every memory, leaving scars I can't hide,
Though I try to run, it follows close behind,
Post-traumatic stress, a nightmare in my mind.
I seek help, trying to find the light,
Friends' care feels like a warm, bright sight,
But the shadows within still hold me tight,
I've learned to be strong, yet struggle through the night.
As time passes, wounds begin to heal,
But that experience, forever I'll feel,
I know post-traumatic stress will always stay,
But I'll face it strong, with love and hope each day.
Post-traumatic stress, shadows by my side,
Every memory, leaving scars I can't hide,
Though I try to run, it follows close behind,
Post-traumatic stress, a nightmare in my mind.
