First Track on Synthetic Army's Incandescent

lyrics

A word, caregiver, if you’d be so kind
I simply can’t stand these thoughts I’ve confined
They’re violent and bold and my mind is aflame
No less dire by any other name

A thought, caregiver, if it suits you well
How do I break free of an internal hell?
And how does one say what still needs to be said
To the monsters that live inside of my head?

A prayer, caregiver, to the ones who have passed
To the ones who lived too hard; too fast
They left their sorrow and heartache and grief
To dangle their feet beneath the trees

It’s okay, tell me it’s okay
It’s okay, say it’s okay

A touch, caregiver, to the brave and the scarred
Who had seen too much beneath the stars
They’ve been left for the ravens and vultures and crows
When their blood had blurred their friends and their foes

A kiss, caregiver, though it’s much too late
The boy sits in the corner, alone and afraid
He needed his mother or father or friends
But now, he’s gone; he left; he went
