Testi ICU - Citizen Soldier

ICU

You’ve been hurting in a million ways
No one else can see
'Cause no one took 'em serious
Till the injuries
So you took it out of guts it into yours
And threw up the prescription on the bathroom floor
You didn’t wanna hurt no more
I see you
Crying it
Screaming through a breathing tube
Held again to this place
I see you
Wondering how you came unclothed
Feeling like your whole life’s screwed
«Who could love me this way?»
It couldn’t cure a single word they said in that panic room
When every day all of your darkest thoughts kept on coming through
Lying in the ICU
You’ve been carving maps into your skin
To make the sickness show
A kind of suffering that never fit
A diagnostic code
So you pictured all the faces when they heard the news
Thought your body in a bag would be enough to prove
That this was real and not some sad excuse
I see you
Crying it
Screaming through a breathing tube
Held again to this place
I see you
Wondering how you came unclothed
Feeling like your whole life’s screwed
«Who could love me this way?»
It couldn’t cure a single word they said in that panic room («Hey kid,
are you okay? «)
When every day all of your darkest thoughts kept on coming through
I see you trying not to cry
Just wishing you had not survived
But don’t give up, give it a little time
Some day you’ll see that you are worth this fight
I see you wide awake all night
A million, not even one reply
But don’t give up 'cause there’s another side
And you still have a lot of songs to write
I see you
Crying it
Screaming through a breathing tube
Held again to this place
I see you
Wondering how you came unclothed
Feeling like your whole life’s screwed
«Who could love me this way?»
It couldn’t cure a single word they said in that panic room
When every day all of your darkest thoughts kept on coming through
Lying in the ICU
