lyrics

COMBUSTABLE
:: survival skills, understanding behaviors // rage and anxiety, reaction and fears // trauma bonds and self medicating // physical pains and thoughts unclear // survival skills, hyper vigilant views // validating pain, hearing our stories // respecting our dignity to feel our traumas // respecting our dignity to know how histories :: CHORUS: anxiety anxiety // walls closing in on you and me // validation of pains ignored // in deafening silence we’ve survived // anxiety reality // celebrating resiliency :: recognizing patterns of abuse // setting gas lighters on fire // holding accountable those who dismiss // learning day to day how to re-acquire // power stolen and reclaiming control // rectifying and unlearning behaviors // respecting accountability // be be better fucking people who we promise to be // holding each other in our arms // setting wildfire to their fucking games // burning bridges to light the way // because we’re not fucking crazy :: anxiety anxiety // walls closing in on you and me // validation of pains ignored // in deafening silence we’ve survived // anxiety reality // celebrating resiliency // anxiety anxiety // walls closing in on you and me // validation of trauma ignored // in deafening silence we’ve survived // anxiety anxiety // isolation of sanity // anxiety reality // we’re not fucking crazy ::

This song is about the need for more understanding of trauma and ptsd within our communities and particularly both the need to listen to, validate, and support survivors of trauma, but also to try to own up mistakes and be held accountable when we fuck up, and to read and learn more towards being better people. For Survivor Self Determination.
