From the recording Trauma The Rite Time For Help EP
“Unhealed Trauma” is trauma with a voice. In this haunting, introspective track, Tay Real flips the perspective — it’s not the person speaking about trauma, it’s trauma speaking to the person.
The song dives into the hidden ways unhealed wounds shape your thoughts, decisions, and relationships. It calls out the numbness, the fear, the self-sabotage — all the symptoms of pain left unchecked. The message is clear and chilling:
“I am the reason you flinch when love gets too close. I am the silence in your happiest moments. I am you.”
This track isn’t just a mirror — it’s a confrontation. A bold reminder that you can’t heal what you won’t face.
Lyrics
Trauma Got Me Down And Blue
Depressed Going Through The Motions As I Look At You
Subconsciously Feel A Way Of What I Want To Be
But Can’t Accept In My Heart That’s It’s Really Me
I Need To Heal Shit Distracting Me
From How I Really Feel Victim Mentality
The Drugs Shackled Me Got Me Smoking Double Cup
Even Some Bourbon On The Counter When The Triggers Get Tough Get Rough
Looking For Someone To Blame
Enprisoned By Own Demise Tired Of This Game
Everywhere I Go It’s Still Near Lurking
Mad At My Parents At Times Cause I’m Still Searching
Trauma Come From Many Places
Til The Point Of Death Affecting All Many Races
Never Found That Never Found That Taste Of Freedom
Cause My Wounds Still There Scared To See Em
So I Try To Beat Em Try To Run Try To Hide
The More I Do That The Misery Still Resides
Cause The Universe Forces Me To Face It
Fuck I’m Doing Everything Not To Taste It
Pissed About The Work And Patience It Take To Shake It
Damn Near Like I’m In A Coma Til I Waken
Move Forward The Past Can Haunt Ya Im Talking To You The One With Unhealed Trauma
We Are In This Together--Our Traumatic Relationship...
You Move, We Move....
Stop Trying To Resist This Situation...
We Are Committed By Chains And Krazy Glue.
To Have You Off Balance, To Hold You Hostage...
The Mind Ties Cannot Be Denied...
You Might As Well Reintroduce Us...
Me, My Trauma, Within--To Be Outside!
We Are Trauma, It Is Us!
