Peter White
How Does It Feel
Anything lost?
Anything broken?
I'll share the costs
But I wonder
How does it feel?

After the fight
Panting, still
Shaking off melting ice
We are wondering
How we should feel

Hoping that we will receive
Evidence for our belief
Life is worth as much as you rate it
Burst out laughing
Lick your wounds
Don't bear malice
But assume
Life will be as good as you make it
Promise you will
Never stop wondering
How does it feel?

When I seem blind
To all the dark thoughts
Stirring your mind
Please forgive me
I try to see

You're like a seal
You can hermetically shut down your ears
Makes me nervous
Come on get real

Hoping that we will receive
Evidence for our belief
Life is worth as much as you rate it
Burst out laughing
Lick your wounds
Don't bear malice
But assume
Life will be as good as you make it
Promise you will
Never stop wondering
How does it feel?
