Flashbacks

Ten year old innocent eyes 
Peaking through the crack in the door 
I saw the fight 
I saw the knife 
I saw him stab you 
I saw the blood 
Two years go by...
You're back at it again 
You lived for chaos 
You lived for drama 
Every day, some type of violence 
Three times around the block 
Time stood still 
I still feel the heat of the bullet at my back 
It may have been meant for you, but it came for me 
If I didn't move when I did, who knows?...
You taught me to live in fear
You taught me that I didn't matter 
You lived for chaos 
You lived for drama 
Every day, some type of violence 
Things no child should know 
I'll never forget 
Flashbacks, frozen in time 
So I have to hold myself tight 
I'm all I've got 
So I have to remind myself that I'm alright 
Bring myself back to the present 
Remind myself that I don't live there anymore
