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.
It's been loud on the streets at the earliest moment
Fall asleep to the sea just to show that we care
And the memories were made just as soon as we saw them here
Show the sun to the East just as soon as we saw him
And the hope that we keep will have shown you we care
And now that we know that it comes with no warning here
So live like someone, who doesn't know they've risen and fallen
Give like someone, who doesn't know that they're here
And all the fault will be left from the way that we saw them
And all the thought will be spent on the ways we had left
I will know that the plea is just to ignore them here
So live like someone, who doesn't know they've risen and fallen
Give like someone, who doesn't know that they're here
Fall asleep to the sea just to show that we care
And the memories were made just as soon as we saw them here
Show the sun to the East just as soon as we saw him
And the hope that we keep will have shown you we care
And now that we know that it comes with no warning here
So live like someone, who doesn't know they've risen and fallen
Give like someone, who doesn't know that they're here
And all the fault will be left from the way that we saw them
And all the thought will be spent on the ways we had left
I will know that the plea is just to ignore them here
So live like someone, who doesn't know they've risen and fallen
Give like someone, who doesn't know that they're here
