about

This War of Mine

This War of Mine was my final understanding and acceptance that this is how my life is going to be forever.

I made peace with the fact that I was never going to survive my depression and PTSD, It was just a matter of time before I lost the war against it.

I felt like I was standing in front of a Tsunami, all the panic and fear had faded away, I knew what the outcome was and I could feel the calmness that it was going to bring as soon as it crashed on me.

Sam Wickens

lyrics

This War of Mine

When are you coming home again?
When are you coming home again?
I think I oughta know.

It hit me like a wave
At the edges of the sea
Like something prehistoric
That the earth has never seen.
It hit me like a storm
That never took a rest
The ground began to shake
Sent shivers through my chest.

In time
I’ll find some
Peace of mind
In time
I’ll lose
This War of Mine

It hit me like the wind
That never let me stand
Tormenting through my mind
Controlling both my hands.

In time
I’ll find some
Peace of mind
In time
I’ll lose
This War of Mine

It hit me like the truth
That never let me leave
Buried in the earth
The last line
Of belief.
