No Feelings Here

Victor Toscano


When I was a boy I looked inside
But I did not find feelings there
I tried to paint and sing and draw
I did not find one feeling there

I thought the world was like the ultimate mistake
Everyone was getting better at shooting down my faith

Did not understand why all the boys were getting dumber by the second 
And I did not understand why all the girls were so mysterious and dramatic

My situation isn't working
I have tried all kinds of things
You are likely to be wondering what the fuck is wrong with me
And you are likely to agree
Baby I'm hallucinating something in my brain
Wish I had a brain

When I was a boy I tried and tried
But not a feeling would arise
I made some noise inside my head
But not a feeling got upset

I thought that we were just supposed to stay in bed
Since nobody knew the reason why they were getting so mad

I talked to God, a priest, a bird
They all said, "sonny, take it easy"
I wrote a letter to myself and I replied,
"No feelings here"
