mixed emotions Lyrics

Why do I feel like I need

A certain mood to like certain songs

I want to drive from a place where I can see

What's in front of me so I am in control

How I might feel is anybody's guess

It comes and goes like an unpredictable tide

I'm getting tired of feeling misled

It doesn't seem right but I'm still not convinced

It feels good to feel bad

It's pathetic and I know that

I'm confessing it's pulling me

Out to sea where I can no longer see the ground

I know am more than my emotions

They surprise me, but now I know them

Like an uninvited kid who comes by

Unannounced, take him or leave him

Doesn't really add much but doesn't really take away

But when he doesn't show up

It doesn't really seem right

It becomes a new distraction

It takes up random access

The process doesn't work right

Your brain lags your neck's tight

And I suddenly remember that I don't really feel much

And the Lord tells me I'm hardened

And begins to break the ground up

And the Lord tells me I'm prideful

And that my affections are dried up

And the Lord tells me I'm hardened

And begins to break the ground up

And the whole process is painful

Why do I feel like I need

A certain mood to like certain songs

I want to drive from a place where I can see

What's in front of me like I am in control

It feels good to feel bad

It's pathetic and I know that

I'm confessing it's pulling me

Out to sea where I can no longer see that

It feels good to feel bad

It's pathetic and I know that

I'm confessing it's pulling me

Out to sea where I can no longer see the ground
