Am I The Only One

about

Song 50

Am I the only one that feels the way I feel? It’s a question I ask myself often. I also ask myself “Am I wrong?”. Getting to the heart of these matters is never easy… Unless you just don’t care, and decide you’re right regardless of the evidence.

Today’s song is very spacy. It’s also very minimalist in the way I played the guitar parts. Sparse and echoey. I like it.

lyrics

I can crawl inside feelings not my own
I can shut it out of my mind like a ghost
The world is not so large that I can get lost
Am I the only one?

I can taste the desperation in the blowing wind
I can wash away this fear like crashing waves
The ways I dream mean so little to them all
Am I the only one?

I can float away in my own mind
I can pull it up from the depths of the sea
The fire inside this soul fades like unwatched coal
Am I the only one?

I can reveal anything I want to show
I can chase the spirits with pure clean water
The tears get shouted down by sycophants
Am I the only one?
