Trauma Bound

Every time I fall

I land with a thud

I shake my head

I get back up

I won't stay down

I'll rise up again

Like a phoenix

See me rise

Into the sky

Like a burning flame

Your one desire

Higher and higher

Until I lose consciousness

And come crashing down

Towards theĀ ground

I fall into you
