Feel Your Feelings
Pure fantasy: a woman who sees through my armor and tells me to feel my feelings before they find a way to feel themselves. Nobody real sings this to me. I wrote the voice I wished I had.
You look so tired, honey, standing in the light
Putting on your armor for another lonely fight
You've got a soldier's eyes, a map of all your wars
A list of all the reasons you keep locking all your doors
But I'm not one of them, sweetheart, I'm not another foe
I'm just the one, warm, quiet place that you know you can go
So why don't you just let me in, why don't you take a break?
I love a man who's complicated, for goodness sake...
So come on, baby, feel your feelings
Before they're the one who's feeling you up
A little taste, a little touch
You know you've wanted it so much
So come on, baby, feel your feelings
Let me be your new and holy cup
'Cause if you don't feel them, honey, if you keep them on the shelf…
They're gonna find a way to feel themselves.
You've got a room inside your soul, a dark and lovely place
A little monster that you're hiding, a shadow on your face
And you've been starving him, I know, you've told him to be good
You've fed him scraps of logic, when he's screaming out for food
But I'm the kind of girl who likes to play with fire and smoke
A little danger's just the punctuation on a dirty joke
So let that hungry dragon out, let's see him in the light
I'll show him how to be a lover, not just how to bite.
So come on, baby, feel your feelings
Before they're the one who's feeling you up
A little taste, a little touch
You know you've wanted it so much
So come on, baby, feel your feelings
Let me be your new and holy cup
'Cause if you don't feel them, honey, if you keep them on the shelf…
They're gonna find a way to feel themselves.
You can't just cage a hunger, baby, and pretend it's gonna die
It just gets strong, and angry, and it learns how to tell a lie
It'll take you in the night, a thief, a ghost, a hollow thing
It'll be the one who's pulling on your own and broken strings
It'll eat you from the inside out, a cancer in your soul
'Til you're just a pretty puppet that has lost all self-control…
So why don't you just let me be the one to help you, right now?
So come on, baby, feel your feelings
Before they're the one who's feeling you up
A little taste, a little touch
My god, you've needed it so much
So come on, baby, feel your feelings
Let me be your new and holy cup
'Cause if you don't feel them... honey, if you keep them on the shelf…
I promise you... they're gonna feel themselves.
