Feel

Where does it start, or how does it end?
It's a strange feeling and I can't pretend that I am fine
Being lost in this mess
That was the river, but this ain't the sea
Somewhere still you, and somewhere still
Me working hard to become what I am

Float down the river like drifting wood
I'd swim to the shore if I only could
Call out your name and take your hand
Find the words that you understand
I went down to the cellar to that no-go door
Without ever knowing what I'm looking for
Another dummy getting by merrily
With just a little help from psychotherapy
But still
I remember what is real
I remember everything
And still it makes want to
Feel and feel and feel and feel

I just don't know which card to play
Feeling I'd lose whichever way, but I don't want
Someone forcing my hand
Yet one more sad song but I'll make it loud
So will all you people
Please gather around and pretend to know
What the whole thing is about

Faces are empty and minds are closed
Everybody's doing what he's hating most
Let's go and get married
Show a happy happy smile
Maybe make a ueselss speech and
Get pissed for a while
Pick the names for our children
Get immersed in our work
And let me cover up when you act like a jerk
Speak the word my love and I'll
Do what you please
Even wear a stylish evening dress
And overknees
But still
I remember what is real
I remember everything
And still it makes me want to
Feel and feel and feel and feel

Float down the river like drifting wood
I'd swim to the shore if I only could
Or back to the beginning to start over again
Only for the sweetness of being myself
Cause still
I remember what is real
I remember everything
And still it makes me want to
Feel and feel and feel and feel
And feel
