Empathy

My face is half out, half in the light It's covered by the dark parts of my mind Can't see as well as I would like But maybe there's some beauty in feeling so blind It kills to show that my brain has no boundaries So take it slow, cause my mind's become haunted I'm not one for self-pity I'm swimming in sadness Got stuck in the shadows I know you won't understand But try and understand Drown me in empathy I've got my conscience pitching tents On either side of my own head They're digging holes into my chest They're trying to fill the space so I'll feel less I'm soaked white noise all the time A sound of silence I can't hide I keep a close eye on what's mine If I lose anymore of me I'll cross off my last lifeline I'm not one for self-pity I'm swimming in sadness Got stuck in the shadows I know you won't understand But try and understand Drown me in empathy I'm not one for self-pity I'm swimming in sadness Got stuck in the shadows I know you won't understand But try and understand Drown me in empathy I gave it time, but there's no spine left in me I've got control of controlling the mystery It kills to show that my brain has no boundaries So take it slow, cause my mind's become haunted I'm not one for self-pity I'm swimming in sadness Got stuck in the shadows I know you won't understand But try and understand Drown me in empathy
