Primal

They say you're acting crazy
So they thought they'd call me
I don't know what's been going on; but breathe

I see you black and white thinking
Your catastrophizing
And, my love, your starting to scare me

Hate to hear you spiral
These feelings aren't final
What you're going through is primal

When you feel panic rising
That's flight or fight instinct
Your amygdala sensing a threat

The effects of your trauma
Are a natural disorder
Darling, don't be shamed of your pain

Nothing ever stays viral
These feelings aren't final
What you're going through is primal

Hate to hear you spiral
These feelings aren't final
What you're going through is primal

Nothing ever stays viral
These feelings aren't final
What you're going through is primal

Each thought has a purpose
But our mind's can usurp us
I will always listen when you talk

Please just make me a promise
Next time you feel like this
Don't wait to call; I'll hear it all

Hate to hear you spiral
These feelings aren't final
What you're going through is primal

Nothing ever stays viral
These feelings aren't final
What you're going through is primal
