lyrics

Less to feel now
Swim through shades of a Pale Grey
Less to feel now
And now you feel like I do
And you cannot hear though, I’m standing right beside you
And you’re slipping through, as if you have a right to
Ahhh, but you know you don’t
Ahhh, but you know you don’t
You’re falling

Less to feel now
Now that you’ve moved on your way
Less to feel now
Numbed up pain inside
And what once was life to you fades to a ghostly whisper
And you’d see it through, but your inhibitions tear you down
Like you don’t know
They will kill you where you stand
And you might just lend, you might just lend a hand
They will kill you where you stand
(We will kill you where you stand!)

For once I’d like to see you stand up and fight
For something you believe in, you know is right
But the only time it seems I see your strength
Is when you’re backing down, when you decide to leave
GO!
Just keep right on walking
With all that we’ve been through
Enough’s been said

For once I’d like to see you stand up and fight
For something you believe in, you know is right
But the only time it seems I see your strength
Is when you’re backing down, when you decide to leave
GO!
There’s no use in talkin’
!’ve seen it all before
Enough’s been said
After all that we’ve been through

Less to feel now

Featuring occasional collaborations with other writers and musicians, The Mosh Petals is dynamic, alternative rock. On the surface it has drive. Some songs highlight heavy drums, bass, and guitars, while others are rhythmical, and yet some are more acoustic. But always, the emphasis is on vocals and harmonies. ... more
