PTSD Lyrics

On a bright and cold summer morning

You told me you were ready to go

Off to take a respite from your dreams

Off to challenge your reality

Taking time to journey far away

You told me you would be back one day

In your vision

I will protect this place

I will honour your final request

To be mindful of these time-worn boxes

Holding what you could not retrieve

I stand guard over your home now lost

In one hand your supplies for conquest

In the other a promise to return

Someday you'll be back better than

Better than you think you are now

Then you asked of me a simple task

Something that I thought I took to heart

I stand guard over your home now lost

The shelter is broken

The splinters gasping in fear

I cannot save this place

The water now flowing through

To wash away everything you left behind

And I despise

What's brought forth from the sky

Your hero emerges

Summoned from the ashes of your legacy

I have rebuilt everything

Only to see your face

Walking in through the back door

To receive your gratitude

For my role is fulfilled

You'll never know

I was the demon

I conjured the flood

You brought this on yourself

You'll never know

I was the demon

I conjured the flood

You brought this on yourself

You'll never know

I was the demon

I conjured the flood

You brought this on yourself
