I believe this is another amazingly on point and nuanced commentary on the insanity that follows emotionally abusive relationships. The abuser has no anxieties, no emotional pain, or salience/memory for that matter, so the survivor appears to be the crazy one, obsessed with the abuse and that buzzword that seems to ignite arguments about diagnosing people without a degree, etc. funny how you say the words domestic violence, abuse, abuse survivor and boom the subject changes. Anyways, I especially relate to her midnights becoming afternoons, complex PTSD often leads to this phenomenon, whether due to purposeful sleep deprivation by the abuser, or just hyper vigilance associated with the PTSD, along with the fear of facing people, especially your loved ones, who
Never actually understand, even if they try, because all they see is you, on fire, screaming about the arsonist that no one ever sees, and who has been spreading lies about your alleged mental instability, deceptive personality, etc. the whole time. While the last thing survivors need is more blame, our society supports a narrative that blames the objectively innocent party because the blatantly guilty party has spent their entire lives fabricating a persona and we’re just being human, and human psychology is quite counterintuitive especially in the context of trauma. Look at Amber Heard. Vilified and not believed, regardless of what any abuse survivor could recognize as a fellow survivor instantly. But Johnny depp is a malignant narcissist, a man, and wealthy as all get out. It’s sick.
There's an oddity running down the stream
Everybody's buying those C.F.C's
As the story unwinds it just gets sadder
Cause every store is selling that extraneous matter
We have no tools to fix the hole in the sky
Told by the fools that you're the reason why
Paper or plastic, diesel or unleaded
It doesn't stop humanity from where it is headed
THEY ALWAYS LIE ABOUT IT, BUT WE ALWAYS SEEM TO FIND IT
IN THE AIR (just tell me why)
WE ALWAYS TRY TO FIGHT IT, WHEN MENDACIOUSLY THEY HIDE IT
EVERYWHERE (hole in the sky)
THEY ALWAYS LIE ABOUT IT, BUT WE ALWAYS SEEM TO FIND IT
IN THE AIR(just tell me why)
AND WHEN YOU TRY TO FIGHT IT, JUST REMEMBER WHO DECIDES IT
IF YOU CARE (hole in the sky)
