SHAKE

I just cannot compare to you…so beautiful

I Just can’t do the things you do…so wonderful

And I will shake, ‘cause the sky’s gonna fall

When I come to my senses and realise that everything I’m doing is a waste

of the breath in my lungs, of the songs I have sung

of the voice I have been given just to speak my own truth

I need a change of policy…so personal

I need a set of new beliefs…I’ve been too comfortable

And I will break down the words in my head

I’m allowed to be sad; but I’m not allowed to be so cruel to the only one

who was here from the start, who will always remain

I have pushed her away now I have got to win her back

The roof of this great house is surely falling down…

Can you feel the earth quake with the knowledge to come?

I can feel in my bones, it will tear me apart and reconfigure me and then

if I look in your eyes, and I don’t see the truth, or a person like me

Then I have got to start again

Can you feel it, feel the earth…

can you feel the earth, feel the earth?

Can you feel the earth, feel the earth shake?
