PTSD Lyrics by Thomas Hill

0

Bang

My body was a mid air somersault

Time stopped almost seemed to collapse in on itself

Earth became sky

Clouds became ground

The day that the bomb blew my whole world was turned on my head

The doctor says that the explosion pushed me over the edge

Post traumatic stress stretched these nerves thin and

There’s a war being waged in my mind

Sometimes it feels like there’s nothing up here but dirt and destruction

Bullets clumping thunderous against my cranium

Guns win the battle but the dead win the war

They sit in my cerebrum 60 somethin soldiers

Who were forced to face fear at the nose of my gun

Bang


My memory is a minefield

Bang

My memory is a minefield

Bang

It was all for my country

Im a man with a star spangled strangled mind

So don’t mind me walking out of the bar at ten thirty a.m.

I’m a hero

Bang

Turned to heroin

Turned to liquor

Turned to my wife and kids with nuclear knuckles and the bomb of a backhand

Bang

I can’t seem to escape these goddamn memories they lurk

Like the smell of steel and flesh introduced to fire

Bang



I was fired from my desk job for being more weapon than worker

My fridge looks like an unattended obligation

My kids look like the American Dream night terror

It's hard to hold onto your sanity when all

The sand you’ve seen is caked with blood

That you make visible

Bang

The army will make a machine out of you

Send you to be all shotgun glory

then the human right up out of you

And make you more man of steel than man of strength

Bang












Im sorry

My mind is rotting it's as purple as my heart

Honorable discharge turned into discharge

Into my tab in a matter of time

bang

Time stopped

Bang

Time stopped

Bang

Time stopped almost seemed to collapse in on itself

The doctor says that i got post traumatic stress disorder

So my brain is taking orders that no one is giving

I was called back in 2005
My mind never left its post
