Tom Peterson - Pain Travels So Deep Lyrics

The night is silent
But the noise inside my head
Won't let my spirit sleep
Memories keep creeping
Up beside me in the bed
But they won't let me be

Pain Travels So Deep
I'm not awake
But I can't sleep
Pain Travels So Deep
Please loosen your grip on me

Distractions are only temporary
A mask for what's inside
It's like a ghost is chasing you, hunting you down constantly
And you've got no place to hide
You can't see all the scars that I keep hidden
My days aren't what they seem
The tiny triggers or a memory from afar
Can bring back those haunting dreams

People Think Suffering's Done
Because the moment's gone
My battle rages on
Pain Travels So Deep
I'm not awake
But I can't sleep

Every day I get further from myself
I forget what normal feels was
They say, We just want the old you back
Well baby so do I

Then the darkness comes creeping in my mind
Maybe the lucky ones are the ones that died
Then I hate myself, the guilt of feeling that way
But hard when your mind attacks you every day every day every day

I hear my heartbeat and the noise inside my head creates a cacophony
I try to focus on what little makes me smile to break my mind free, so I can
Push Through Slowly
One step in front of me
Please Try Saying
Small prayers when you think of me
Pretending To Seem OK
Telling friends that I'm alright
Pray To See the Daylight
I may be knocked down, but I still fight

Praying To Stop Dreams
I try to hide, but at night they still find me
Pushing Through Stormy Days
The nights seem longer, the morning far away
Power To See the Dawn
My mind is broke, my spirit carries on
Pain Travels So Deep
I'm still here. Don't give up on me
