An almost instantaneous deviation from the format!

Though not strictly song lyrics, i had to include these quotes which i found in the Feb edition of (American) Elle.
They just hit me with such an emotional weight. It really resonated with me with its sense of trauma becoming embedded in you, something you can never truly dismiss. Sometimes i feel that i have buried mine somewhat under the surface, but then there are the days when i gaze into it, 'clinging' to my trauma, as Flynn would say, and i fall apart. But then other days i can be composed. This all sounds too depressing. Just read it!

"...it does seem that some of us, men and women alike, use our past turmoil, cling to it
...
This reenactment of trauma is perhaps the opposite of finding a way to embody the trauma, which might be another way of saying to integrate the experience into your everyday life, so that it no longer pulls your strings, makes you dance
...
Come spring, everyone is damaged again, whether they talk about it or not. It's just the world waking up. It's the sap running through the trees, it's the ice starting to thaw
...
True damage is not merely a reenactment of past turmoil, but part of our nature, part of our cellular structure. That's why it's not a good idea to imagine you can contain it in one place and neatly chop it out"
