This is a continuation on the subject of PTSD. We released an EP in 2014 called ‘Sick To Death’ which dealt with the effects of ‘Shell Shock’ in WW1. Exit Wound is set in the present day. Back from a tour of duty a soldier makes the trip home to see his family, a very different world to the one he’s left behind. Today we know so much more about PTSD but still have a lot to learn about how we care for those unlucky enough to be affected by it.
lyrics
I’ve been so far away will I still find my way back home?
I walked this path with heart but now the cracks are starting to show
I’m coming back to life but I don’t feel I’m coming home
I left the war behind now there’s another of my own
My system’s not immune to this depth of exit wound
All I wanted was to shield and protect you from
Everything I’ve seen everything I’ve done
Bring an end to the war that could never be won
That could never be won
Let it go
They say it like I could just let it go
Let it fall
They say it like I could just let it fall
Understand
This heavy weight I carry could bring me down
Face the pain
What makes you assume that I could visit that again?
Absolutely hooked on this album from first listen. How rare is that with prog!??? Excellent songwriting and musicianship. Can’t wait to dive into the rest of the collection. Thomas Lock
