Trigger (original)

Tuning FACGB (snapped a string and went with it)

Tossing and turning
Her nightmares are burning
The final hours in her head
She reaches out for you
She just wants to hold you
But you're not there

One moment to wipe away a million
One trigger to trip a chain reaction
One second to sudden induction
To your self-destruction
You left a mess behind

Replay your departure on her mental picture screen
The images are faded
But the memories you created
Are haunting her, you see

Recycled paranoia
Could she have done more for you?
She begs the monsters in her head
She says, "I implore you. Let me be!"

One moment to wipe away a million
One trigger to trip a chain reaction
One second to sudden induction
To your self-destruction
You left a mess behind

I expect videos like this to be pretentious and for that I'm sorry. After several videos I can see and hear the honesty in you and it's refreshing.

@lastlivingsoul09 Thanks for leaving such a thoughtful response.  I appreciate the feedback.

Very good self-penned song, RevelingInReverie. Soulful singing, and mellow guitar playing. The music reflects the anguish in your lyrics. Snapped string, alternate guitar tuning...you're very resourceful! Thumbs up.

You're really good at writing lyrics, in addition to melody and accompaniment. And you make it sound easy, real smooth presentation.

I really love that deep melancholy in your voice.

And your songwriting is incredible good, you know, it leaves you enough space for your own thoughts! Great!
