Faces haunt me day and night
Wake up I'm sweating like I've had a fright
The night sweats and tremors are getting worse
The downside of ptsd is a curse
Wracked with guilt and of pain
These horrible images could drive me insane
Close my eyes I'm there reliving the time
Of people who have died some not even reached their prime
Families and friends wait sat at home
Oblivious to the horrors some never have known
Back in the smoke and the dark
Crawling around on your hands and your knees
Head split wide open brain on the seat
puddles of blood down to her feet
The young girl the mum the dad dead in bed
All these bad thoughts go around in my head
This ptsd has left scars in my brain
These visions these dreams dark like the rain
Blank moments when walking down the street
How long for I don't know stopped dead on my feet
One minute your here then you are there
Talking to someone then blank in a stare
Where have I gone I do not know
Reliving the moments of horror like it's a show
It's like it's real shivers run down my spine
Sweat pouring off me tears in my eye
These things I have witnessed should not be seen
I'd take them for anyone so their memories are clean
Awful scenes of blood and guts
As the machine tears away metal and makes it cuts
The badly burned bodies the blackened faces
Charred wood twisted metal in all of these places
These memories embedded in my mind
Peace and harmony now hard to find
Hoping one day these bad memories fade
Locked away in some corner never to see light of day
My life so much better smile on my face
Living my life in the happiest way
