Lyrics:

what's it I've been told,
it seems I've been away...
this mind is not my own,
got my eyes blurred to a daze,
I've been draumatized today.

I've been torn down,
bled and thrown away,
rising off these stones
from what'd the doctor say:
"I'll see you on another day".

I've been torn... I've been torn...

passed an old friend downtown
just the other day,
pretended not to notice,
I looked the other way,
'cause I don't want to feel ashamed.

so, if you've been shot to the ground
by the judge that lives inside,
you've got to free yourself 'cause
you've more than done your time,
everything's gonna be alright,
you will be fine, you'll be alright...

in time...

so, if you've been shot to the ground
by the judge that lives inside,
you've got to free yourself
'cause you've more than done your time,
everything's gonna be alright,
you've been draumatized.

and if you've been played like a fool
by the one that you hold too tight,
you've got to free yourself
'cause you've more than done your time,
everything's gonna be alright,
you will be fine, you've been draumatized...

by life...

so, before I go,
I wanna hear you say:

no more drama...

no more trauma...
