Song Description
This is my avant-garde piece, if you will. I wanted to create the image of a man walking alone in the rain through the city completely lost in the confusion of his mind. The song builds into a confusion of voices and sound until finally it breaks into the man crying out "I can't feel" over and over, but still haunted by a voice telling him he was wrong. The instrumentation is like a dense electronic orchestra. It contains guitar, bass, violin, theremin, piano, percussion and a chorus of vocals with a male lead. The song builds to a section with a rock feel and rock instrumentation; again with a male lead vocal.

Lyrics
I walk these streets, through cold dark alleys in my head, makes me feel weak, and this emptiness is making it colder. But I can't feel, what I seem to drag you through, this pain in my heart can't be too far off.
Frustration builds, misunderstanding on both sides, these tear drops fill, and this emptiness is making them bolder. But I can't feel, what I seem to drag you through, this pain in my heart can't be too far off.
You play the victim, I'll play the villain, and we'll never win.
(I'm breaking hearts in two tonight, still holding onto what seems right)
(I walk these streets, alone and feeling miserable, I'm cold with regret. I'm feeling wrong it's making this harder)
I can't feel
(You never try you're always running away)
I can't feel
(You know what I want give me what I need)
I can't feel
(You never try you're always running away)
I can't feel
(You just walked out on me)
But I can't feel what I seem to drag you through, this pain in my heart can't be too far off.
