Michael Merenda: Listen
How I Felt
(from the album "Trapped in the Valley")
Ode to Bowdoin mates, Coles Tower, class of 1998
How I Felt
O my God it's killing me
at least that's how I felt
I don't scare so easily
but now that's how I felt
Five or four? 5:04.
My eyes that's how I felt
I can be somebody
but I cannot be somebody else
And O that's how I felt
Come save me from myself
I wait for restitution
O my God I'm on my knees
I can't take you so lightly
I'm on the ground world goes round
and round that's how i felt
Energy my body
but I can't stand up by myself
And O that's how I felt
Come save me from myself
I wait for restitution
And O that's how I felt
Come save me from myself
I wait for restitution
I hate your restitution
that's how I felt
