Citizen Soldier
Better Off Broken
[Lyrics from snippet - updated upon full release]
Feeling so anxious
I step in your office, hear:
"How was your week?"
"How do you feel?"
It's hard to be honest
All I can think about is shutting back down
What's wrong with me?
I should be better by now
You tell me be patient, that it'll be worth it
All the suppression, session by session
Pulled to the surface
All of the demons through the years I've bottled up
But I'm exhausted, and the past is too much
I'm not ready, it's too heavy
I'm not ready
Why is healing so hard?
And why does numb feel like my only friend?
'Cause when I swallow my scars
Then I don't have to feel it all again
I'm so tired of tеaring the trauma back open
Am I bettеr off, better off broken?
