Like Dancing Naked it is a song

Like dancing naked it is to expose my feeling thoughts this way.... 
My words give me away, my feelings on display....
It's why I never shared it before, in any meaningful way 
I could not stomach to feel myself so share them all ? NO WAY! ...

So it's more like on crawling on broken glass or swallowing a lump with mass 
And I hope with releasing them here this too shall soon come to pass

I am told its normal to feel 
but I can tell you for me it's unreal
I was really good at being devoid of mood and living beneath a rational hood
This feeling thing misunderstood by me and so at times my rational mind sets me free
The up, down and sideways of life is not a pleasant place to be.....
Like Dancing Naked it is .....

So it's more like crawling on broken glass
or swallowing a lump with mass
And I hope with releasing them here this too shall soon come to pass...

[Instrumental]

Ohhh Yeah! 

But if dancing naked is what it takes
to exchange loving embrace
I will aspire to persist
my desire eclipsing pain
I tear aside the fog 
that has made love devoid of gain
and from rationale I will refrain
and your love I will retain
mutual bonding I will entertain
and explore all inner feelings that were locked away
And life will never again be the same

So it's more like crawling on broken glass or swallowing a lump with mass
And I hope with releasing them here this too shall soon come to pass....

Make myself vulnerable again
and reach out with hopeful thought
and share my deepest feelings with you
and get deep down and dirty with you...
Lets suck the marrow out of life
Lets enjoy everything possible too
Lets create, share and trust
and all that comes with joining two....


So it's more like crawling on broken glass or swallowing a lump with mass
And I hope with releasing them here this too shall soon come to pass...(this too shall soon come to pass...) Ohhhhh ... mmmm
