Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
And the slow parade of fears without crying
Now I want to understand
I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good without hiding
You must help me if you can

Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise to leave them open for so long
'Cause I have wandered through this world
And as each moment has unfurled
I've been waiting to awaken from these dreams
People go just where they will
I never noticed them until I got this feeling
That it's later than it seems

Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what you see
I hear their cries
Just say if it's too late for me
Doctor, my eyes
Cannot see the sky
Is this the prize
For having learned how not to cry?

Of course you can ask, and no forgiveness is needed! They aren't synaesthesia smells but rather literal flashbacks.

Holmes: A little hamburger place where I used to go with my best friend CDW when I was about 12. It had this song on the jukebox and I smell the food, the fresh spring air coming through the door as patrons entered, and even my shampoo and lipgloss from the time. Yellow tables. Red mesh baskets of food. Greasy fries with salt. My friend's bubblegum. Everything. I can't even push "play" on the song because it would hurt too much, but I experience this anyway.

Rafferty: My childhood home with my mother cleaning. The lemon scent of her cleaning products, especially the soap I used to cleanse the sink (which I loved doing). The smell of a carpet freshly cleaned, when it smells like the warm air from the vacuum. My stuffed Grover toy. Chlorine from our swimming pool, and wet beach towels.

No, I don't have strong sensory memories at all

Thank you, that is fascinating. I appreciate your candor.

Are you guys trying to make me cry?
