Everyone has a flight or fight reaction but I just tend to freeze
I hope they hear my jagged breath when I try to breathe
The fight inside has torn my mind more than they can
and the more I fly from the fight the less I understand
so freeze me in this immortal struggle and take me as I come
I'm afraid I cannot change and if I do I may come undone
a mind like mine gets lost in time as a war rages around
the definition of attrition reduces my hope to be found
and the more I scream my lungs bleed choking out the sound
an eternal tug of war between my will to stand and the ground
