I was intending for this song to be the last of my “Pathetiques-” those songs which express the most pathetic slice of my soul. Therefore, I took some time off from writing in the hopes of tapping into a more vigorous part of myself.
But since I spent that time painting my apartment pink and learning the daintiest of sciences, chemistry, it may be that my descent into patheticness is just beginning.

Handkerchief rests like a weight on my chest, I can’t breath, oh no
I knew from the start the things that come will go
You say you love me, but love is a word, tra la la, I know
Life floods when it comes and where it goes it goes
Restrain, I can’t breath, mind tries focusing
But what is there on which I can rely
I don’t feel love, I don’t feel real
Please don’t let them know how I feel.
Handkerchief lies like a weight on my eyes, I can’t see, oh no
I’ll come when you say come and where you go I’ll go
Hand on my chest, you gotta breath in and you must let go
But even when I gasp and wheeze the air will never flow
Faces in a blur, cold hearts, I am sure
Though their hands reach through the fog, I will demure
I don’t feel love, I don’t feel real
Please don’t let them know how I feel.
Smile girl, take your place
You knew life was a masquerade
Take a deep breath, then resume your place.
Everyone said the spring would arrive, so just wait through pain
I sat on the bench and waited for the rain
Scent of the pine, scent of the drops which on the needles lie
I waited for the thing on which I could rely
Silence is that you? Silver and golden too
Fallen on the forest floor, I walked all over you
I don’t feel love, I don’t feel real
Please don’t let them know how I feel.
