about

"The Wilds" is a song about the ravages of insanity, emphasized by the cross-over technique on piano and emotive and slightly manic strings.

lyrics

I feel like I'm losing control
In the wilds of my soul
In the deafening roar
All is lost inside the storm

I feel like I'm breaking apart
There's a thorn in my heart
Burrowing deeper in
Hastened by harrowing winds

I can't ignore what's burning behind that door
The smoke that is creeping in
To lull me to sleep, sleep until death

I feel like I'm losing control
Don't make sense anymore
And in my heart of hearts
All my hope is covered in sparks

I can't ignore what's burning behind that door
The smoke that is creeping in
To lull me to sleep, sleep until death

Where can I go?
The world's up in smoke
There's nowhere to turn
Just watching my world burn

I feel like I'll never find home
I feel like I'll never find home
