Slowly Sinking Down

Liner Notes

Not sure if you ever had a loved one suffering from PTSD but if you have you know how horrible that can be for them and for the people who love them.

For the sufferer the experiences they are feeling are very real and happening to them right now and it is totally debilitating.

This song is an attempt to describe that that is like as much as I can not having suffered from this myself. But a close loved one has and it was a very horrible situation.

Thankfully she is through the other side not thanks to the amazing EMDR therapy and while not fully back she is well on her way.

Production note. If you listen on headphones the discordant notes on the left ear juxtaposed with the guitar solo in the right is intentional to add a sonic hint to the mental turmoil of the sufferer

Lyrics

I’m slowly sinking down
There are things you can’t see, but they are real to me
I feel them in my soul and they won’t let me out

The sides on the cell, are smooth as hell
And there’s no grip for me
No purchase to be found

Help me, throw down a rope to me, save my soul
And pull me out of here
It’s real, as real as can be, even though you cannot see

It’s devouring me, from the inside
I’m sinking down, I’m sinking down
Devouring me, from the inside
Sinking down, save me now

Is there no escape for me,
I cannot see my way out, of fear and doubt
Have a stranglehold on my soul and they won’t set me free

The sides on the cell, are smooth as hell
And there’s no grip for me
No purchase to be found

Help me, throw down a rope to me, save my soul
And pull me out of here
It’s real as real as can be, even though you cannot see

It is devouring me, from the inside
I’m sinking down, I’m sinking down
Devouring me, from the inside
Sinking down, save me now
