Need to Feel

Mother
Can you hear me?
Am I bleeding?
No I can’t work out what’s wrong, oh
Brother
Are you near me
There’s no feeling
All my insides feel so numb, oh

Ooh I’m choking on dreams of a past life
Stumbling round with a sharp knife
Staying awake till the first light, inside
Ooh I’m feeling caught up in a landslide
Fifty-two weeks of alone time
Wanting the fear of a fast ride

I, I, I need to feel
I need to feel something there
I, I, I need to feel
I need to feel again

Father
Do you see me?
I’m not breathing
And I pray before it’s too late you
Discover
That I’m grieving
For no reason
Just an empty vessel longing for some
​
Life, dancing around like it’s all fine
You see me laugh in the sunshine
Desperate plea for a lifeline, inside
Ooh I constantly feel like I’m losing
I don’t know if I can do this
I just can’t face being human

I, I, I need to feel
I need to feel something there
I, I, I need to feel
I need to feel again

We’ve got all we need to be free from our sin
All of the glitter and jam jars of gin
You’re holding my hand as we’re dancing to Slim
It’s a cool night
Hold tight
You and me, we’re always running through life
Iridescent, fluorescent and sparkling with light
Laughing and crying and painting our smiles
It’s a cruel life
Hold tight

I, I, I need to feel
I need to feel something there
I, I, I need to feel
I need to feel again
