I Wish - Invisible Wounds: A Song About PTSD, Anxiety & Family Struggles

🎵 “Invisible War" — A raw, emotional anthem for veterans, active-duty service members, and anyone fighting silent battles. This song dives into the unseen scars of war, the struggle to ask for help, and the haunting feeling of wishing your pain was "visible enough" to be understood. Inspired by real stories of military resilience and the internal wars many veterans face long after leaving the battlefield.

If you’ve ever felt trapped by the stigma around mental health, screamed into the dark alone, or masked your pain with "I’m okay," this song is for you. You’re not alone. 💔➔🌟

Lyrics:

[Verse]
Wish it was worse,
Why’d that blast leave me cursed?
I’m trying to outlast, the invisible past…
But my soul bleeds out fast, in the dead of the night.
Scars they don’t see, but the pain’s real to me,
Fake smiles, hollow nights—man, I’m done with this fight.

[Pre-Chorus]
Why didn’t you take an arm, take a leg, FUCK IT, TAKE THEM ALL!
Maybe then they’d see me crawl…
Screaming, “I’m not okay!”
But my mind slams the door, locks my words away…

[Chorus]
Then it’d be clear as day,
I need help with the pain.
But nah, here I am—
Screaming at the dark, the demons in my mind.
They can’t kill me, but God, I wish they’d try.
A twisted game,
A twisted game daring me to erase my life.
I’m fine, I lie…
Drowning inside.

[Verse]
Breathe in, breathe out, count the panic attacks.
If I shatter, would it even matter to y’all?
Ghosts in my veins, they whisper, “Give up, end it all.”
But I’m stuck in this place—no peace, no war,
Just an empty core—

[Pre-Chorus]
Take the hope, take the light, FUCKING TAKE MY SOUL!
Maybe then this hell would fold…
Pleading for release,
But the void’s my only peace…

[Chorus]
Then it’d be clear as day,
I need help with the pain.
But nah, here I am—
Screaming at the dark, the demons in my mind.
They can’t kill me, but God, I wish they’d try.
A twisted game,
A twisted game daring me to erase my life.
I’m fine, I lie…
Drowning inside.

[Verse]
I can’t let my wife see me break—I’m the one who holds her tight,
Her rock when the world don’t feel right.
My kids, they count on me,
I banish their fears, wipe away their tears.
Would they stick around
If I shatter? If I fall?
I’m their shield, their light, their solid ground,
But inside, I drown in the weight I hide.
How long can I keep this mask in place?
When every smile feels like a lie on my face.

[Pre-Chorus]
So I bury it deep, let the silence grow,
Put on my disguise, let the cracks not show.
But the weight’s too much, I’m starting to bend—
How long can I pretend?

[Chorus]
Then it’d be clear as day,
I need help with the pain.
But nah, here I am—
Screaming at the dark, the demons in my mind.
They can’t kill me, but God, I wish they’d try.
A twisted game,
A twisted game daring me to erase my life.
I’m fine, I lie…
Drowning inside.

[Bridge]
I don’t know what to say,
Yeah, I’m okay—another hollow cliché.
Would I sound like a bitch?
Need wounds they can see—
One cut, that can’t be stitched,
LOOK! I’m not bulletproof,
I’m just flesh and a rift…

[Bridge]
Haunted on my daily drive,
On the way to work,
That same tree whispers, “Decide…”
“Are you gonna hit me at 95?”
Not today—my little girl needs a ride.
But what will I have tomorrow
To outrun this horror?
How long can I keep this wheel in line?
When every mile feels like a countdown in my mind.

[Outro - ‘Whispered’]
I wish… ‘the dark would lie’
I wish… ‘the pain could die’
Wish it was worse.
Screaming at the dark, the demons in my mind…
I wish… I wish…
Wish they’d end this curse.
