Feel from Open by Tom Ussher
This is probably my favourite song on the record, it's also one of the oldest, I must have been about 16 or 17 when I originally wrote this, though it's very different now!
I've never been very good at talking about how I feel, but with music it kinda just flows, this song is about that. I feel incredibly guilty for being an emotional person, I don't know why, but I just feel that I shouldn't be, or that I'd be better off being cold hearted, I don't know how to explain it... but anyway, this song is just about feeling guilty for feeling, and just wanting to be able to be emotional without feeling that you'll be judged or mocked for it.

Lyrics
Open your eyes and you'll see what I see in myself, hate me
You're begging me, breaking me, taking away from me, don't forget me
I can see, never see, the world I tried to get away from, become a part of me
So close your eyes before you see what I've done to myself, hurt me
Now I'm blind, I can't see, run away from me for what I am, run from me
What's left of me, isn't me, just a twisted result of what fate did to me
So play your cards, roll your dice, doesn't matter for aces mean nothing to me
Now I'm cold, feelin' old, spent myself so I might avoid, killing me
I can't see
Outside anything that was never real
I didn't want to see anything but feel
And I, I never feel

My name is Tom Ussher, I'm a singer/songwriter from London, England. I spent the last 11 years playing in rock and metal bands, mostly as the singer/guitar player for Tyrian and the drummer for The Cockrockets, after playing nothing but angry music for so long I had a huge backlog of songs that weren't metal and I really wanted to record and release them, two years later and here I am!
