Twisted Illusion - Empathy Is Earned Lyrics

Far from everyone I know
I can't relate to you
Feel the world or keep your heart alive
I never considered myself an empath/someone who cares
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
I never considered you an empath/someone who cares
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!

Far from everyone I know
I can't relate to you
Feel the world or keep your heart alive
I never considered myself an empath/someone who cares
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
I never considered you an empath/someone who cares
