Not Alright by Me

Something hit me deep On my sunset walk through the streets I could see and hear But I couldn't feel or breathe From tuning out this static world I've lost the sense of peace And that's not alright by me The LA Times and Channel 5 And New York Magazine They stain my soul And I know you know what I mean They tear apart the hopeful heart Til it doesn't bleed or dream And that's not alright by me Pull on the rope that lifts the sun back to the sky Hold a hand. Cry on a shoulder. Listen in the wind and open up your eyes. And feel again. Feel again. Where the roads cross And time stands still I'm frozen in my tracks Against my will The streetlight is dimming And it won't shine again until I say "It's not alright by me" Not alright by me Not alright by me Not alright by me Not alright by me
