Apathetic Empathy

Listened for so long
To know I'd never belong
Once upon a time was so long ago
Now I'm a memory of the living
And so

I turn the page
Mark the day
Remember the time
And what you said
Love confused with rage
The one you betray
Walk that line
And find yourself dead

Watched for too long
To see who goes and who takes
Between the blood and water
I'm the only one left with scars
And so

I turn the page
Mark the day
Remember the time
And what you said
Love confused with rage
The one you betray
Walk that line
And find yourself dead

Stood in silence
Screamed in torment
Just a pinch more salt
And we'll get through this

Show and tell today
Show them the wound
Tell me I'm being selfish
Unfeeling, ignorant shits

The reason that I bleed
Is the same as why I breathe
The reason that I bleed
Is the same as why I breathe

I turn the page
Mark the day
Remember the time
And what you said
Love confused with rage
The one you betray
Walk that line
And find yourself dead

So, I turn another page
Mark what you said
Echoes in silence
Resonating deep within
Scratching letters in
Toe the line
And find myself alive
