Traumacoaster Omerta (USA)

[Gustavo]
Panic shoots throughout my veins
Color draining from my face
Memories consume my brain
Then fill my skull with toxic waste
Spirit's crushed under the weight
Of my ever-growing shame
Trying to hold onto faith
But somehow it always escapes

Words are always left unsaid
Swarming 'round inside my head
Chose to swallow them instead
And let them writhe beneath my breast
Fake a smile for the press
While my insides tear to shreds
Staring in the camera's lens
Beforе I go Virginia Tech

I grit my teeth 'til they crack
When your gums run laps
Writing chеcks they can't cash
You're wearing wounds that don't last
Temporary scabs
And the ink's on your hands
