What You Feel
(B. Mosley)
appears on Through the Fire
A longer, rock trio version of this song originally appeared on the 2009 ‘Charge’ EP I did with Jerry Joseph and Steve Drizos. I wanted to create a version for ‘Through the Fire’ that was more concise/concentrated, grooved differently, and had orchestration/instrumentation that jibed with the rest of the TTF album.

Privilege is a dysfunction and pretension
Aims to win the human race
Cream of the meme are having children that are feral
Locked and loaded, looking down out of a person-less face
Cobain ran the course of generation X ennui
Blew that like a whistle…sheep won’t stampede
Word within the herd is it cannot locate its being
In the city’s sad bacchanal, the madness of kings
And I ask my heart to help me remember what the deal is
Your name and your notions are imaginary
What you feel is real…sweet emptiness
What you feel is real…testify
What you feel is real
We would not have a word
If we did not have each other
Dad never could
Take the bad with the good
Scream it from my dreams
Up and out across the island
Coming loose inside me
We are all tomorrow’s food and
Sweet like the rain
Holy in am-ness
Just dying to live a little
Your stake in the game
And your name
And your notions are imaginary
What you feel is real…in your gaze and your voice (Feel the love, y’all)
Every choice, your wealth (Feel the love, y’all)
Your stake in the game, and the game itself (Feel the love, y’all)
Heaven and hell…imaginary (Feel the love, love, love)
Feel the love (Feel the love, y’all)
Feel the love, y’all (Feel the love, y’all)
Feel the love, y’all (Feel the love, y’all)
Feel the love, love, love (Feel the love, love, love)
Feel the love in your gaze and your voice (Feel the love, y’all)
Every choice, your wealth (Feel the love, y’all)
Your stake in the game, and the game itself (Feel the love, y’all)
Heaven and hell…imaginary (Feel the love, love, love)
Feel the love (Feel the love, y’all)
Feel the love, y’all (Feel the love, y’all)
Feel the love, y’all (Feel the love, y’all)
Feel the love, love, love (Feel the love, love, love)
