Feedback Hounds

I want to be seen But I don't want to show I'm not willing to go there Not willing to go I preach that it's good to be alone But what do I know I'm lonely But I've been calling it learning And it's only That I'm quietly burning So bring me friends to kiss my mouth Skin to soothe the feedback hounds That echo through this human house Deafeningly loud And I too proud to let them out To play with the kids in town I wanna sing to woo you I wanna sing really fucking well to fool you Into thinking I'm free That I've both very crisp and very love soaked sheets I'm a cheat I'm a child I'm a charlatan I'm shy and I'm shit and I'm caving in And I don't want you here to see this how this ends I'm a coward I vandalised a map And I buried it in song And I don't know if it was right Or very very wrong And I don't know what happens If you play along And I don't want to lose you But I'm not gonna win 'Cause I can't seem to grasp That it's not a competition I'm lonely But I've been calling it learning And it's only That I'm quietly burning So bring me friends to kiss my mouth Skin to soothe the feedback hounds That echo through this human house Deafeningly loud And I too proud to let them out To play with the kids in town
