Body For Hire by Melodie Yvonne

I’m feelin’ quite nothing, just less than you’d guess
I’m feelin’ quite awful and kinda a mess
I’m feelin’ just somewhat a little bit lost
And all of my wires have done gotten crossed

I’m feelin’ just slightly a little less tired
Feelin’ more lively, but this soul’s been mired
All of these warnings just catch me on fire
And now I’m burnt out, just a body for hire

I’m feelin’ you crawlin’ right under my skin
I’m feelin’ you knockin’ but you can’t come in
I’m feelin’ your eyes and your mind’s always pryin’
But I’ll never feed you my tears when I’m cryin’

I’m feeling you back off and cuttin’ that string
I need you to take back the chaos you bring
I need you to go ‘cause I’m steppin’ in something
And all that I want now is just to feel nothing

I’m feelin’ quite nothing, just less than you’d guess
I’m feelin’ quite awful and kinda a mess
I’m feelin’ just somewhat a little bit lost
And all of my wires have done gotten crossed

I’m feelin’ just slightly a little more tired
Feelin’ less lively ’cause this soul’s been mired
All of these warnings just catch me on fire
And now I’m burnt out, just a body for hire
