Jen Schaffer and the Shiners

Lyrics

Feel your heart
But my heart aches
Seal your heart
But my heart breaks

It takes the cake
And takes the bait
And won’t partake
In silly love songs

Serious stuff
Singleminded snuff
That I inhale
Like a famished snail

My heart is true
To the chartered crew
That look askance
At forgotten few

Feel their feel
But theirs feels sad
Steal their feel
Make ‘em mad

Their feelings
Well, they have no cure
A drunken slur
A scary monster

Their feelings are
That raggedy rough
Never off the cuff
Always a bit gruff

Their feelings are
Downright diminished
To bitter finish
A little swinish

Feel the horde
Hum their chant
Feel it now
Resist the rant

Feel the harm
Its ancient hurt
Feel the rage
We’re not inert

They can feel right
And still be wrong
Do feel nothing
Do feel strong

But stones will sing
And lift the meek
And they’ll be fed
From bird to beak

Feel the pit
Let it sit
Let it go
Let it know

That you will knit
Us back to whole
Beautiful mend
To stitch the soul

Feel the spell
Weave its way
Hands of love
One way to pray

Feel the presence
Soothing source
A gentle force
To stay the course

Feel the burn
At every turn
Count the headway
Not the spurn

Feel the shame
Through rocky pass
Without the blame
Without the grasp

Feel because
Feel despite
Feel with all
And all your might

Feel will lead
And it will need
Your fearlessness
To ride this steed
ride this steed
