I've been told that I was born angry So it should come as no surprise that I'm still pissed But lately something inside me is breaking I haven't been sleeping much And man it gets quiet at night For so long I fought off my empathy No more patience I'm running on empty I can't see a single shred of integrity I'm losing my empathy I don't know how to just feel nothing How to watch the world and just turn my back Pretend that things are how they're meant to be Trust that the powers in charge Have our best interests in their hearts When time and time again We aren't even honest men Am I to believe that when true power is within someone's grasp That their integrity is built to last? Is anyone's? (Is anyone?) Because the more I see It's clear to me That the power needs to be distributed evenly Even the best men can fall from grace I feel something changing inside of me The more time I spend on this earth And maybe it's the only possible trajectory I'm losing my empathy The fire that once burnt on overwhelming compassion Is mixed with the flames of pure fucking aggression
