take on the sense

look at me now

look at what i have

look at the past

with broken shards to cast

 

listen to my heart

listen to my words

listen to what i don't say

every note in every chord

 

cuz you know it ain't the real thing

when the music isn't playing

when you close your eyes and turn your ears away

cuz you know when the song dies down

when the lyrics get silenced

there's none left to hold on to somehow

 

feel my touch

sense my soul

try to take hold of me

every time i try to go

 

inhale the scent

every fragrance, every stench

try to remember those times

when all the world seems to blend

 

cuz you know it ain't the real thing

when you sense just about nothing

when you turn lose and try to hide out from everything

cuz you know when feelings die down

when our souls don't feel a thing

there's none left to hold on to somehow

 

be the one to take on the senses

and not fear what you'll find when you try

embrace the new sensations

even those scary new emotions

just take it on ... my love

take it on somehow
