lyrics

How do you feel, my heart?
How do you feel?
There’s been trouble in discerning
What’s the joke and what is real
How do you feel?

The old, familiar greetings sound like an alarm
With a fear of friendly faces I cannot disarm
Oh I’m wearing my discomfort underneath my Sunday best
While I force another smile and swallow my distress
How do you feel?

How do you know, my mind?
How do you know?
With so many hidden stories
To the masks that you’ve been shown
How do you know?

With a twinkle to their side eye and whisper to their breath
I’ve been answering their questions as if it was a test
Could the kindest of veneers hide just where the monster lies?
Do I double my defenses, is that how to stay alive?
How do you know?
How do you know?

When some you might have trusted reveal their truest hearts
Misguided by their trauma or malignant from the start
When you’re grieving for your past or a piece of hometown pride
Should you wrestle your beginnings or leave that all behind?
Well how do you feel?
How do you feel?
How do you feel?

How do you feel, my heart?
How do you feel?
There’s been trouble in discerning
What’s the joke and what is real
How do you feel?
