Empathy Is Earned Songtext
von Twisted Illusion

Far from everyone I know
I can′t relate to you

Feel the world or keep your heart alive

Hide away your mind will not survive

Treat me as a victim
Tell me what I want to hear
Treat me as someone human
Take away
All of my fears!

Don't tell me how
I should feel about things you say
Don′t tell me now
You don't agree and how I should
Have empathy!

Far from everyone you know
We can't relate to you

Feel the world or keep your heart alive

Hide away your mind will not survive


It′s okay, I won′t be here
For long
I won't satisfy your ego
I don′t need to

Why don't you ask me?
How I am doing?
Or who I aim to be?
You′re just selfish!
That's who you are!

Consider me
I may not be
All there
So slow to
See just who you are

Continue this vindiction
Addicted to self religion
And someday
That′s all you will become

Believe me!
When I say, I aim to go so much further!
Be more than I am
Right now!


Chance is finite
Excite your own light
Don't ask for my hand, my hand
When so many extend.

I have this thing
Where it's like
I can′t see you
Emotionally blind
I only see broken glass behind

You could be stronger
You could be the empath
Just lead by example
And let the others wallow

In who they are!
