I feel the weight of their lies crushing down
The poison in the air it spreads without a sound
War drums pound blood spills in the streets
Hate flows freely while the world slowly bleeds
Eyes wide open I can't shut it out
Screaming silence filled with doubt
The empathy I hold begins to fray
In this endless hell we all decay
Empathy's collapse it's breaking me inside
Suffocating on the tears I can't hide
Drowning in the flood of their endless screams
A shattered soul torn apart at the seams
Political puppets play their twisted game
Feeding the fire but it's all the same
I see the pain that no one understands
Crushed by the greed that stains their hands
Eyes wide open I can't turn away
The rage the fear the price we pay
Empathy crumbles heart turns to stone
In this war of hate I stand alone
Empathy's collapse it's breaking me inside
Suffocating on the tears I can't hide
Drowning in the flood of their endless screams
A shattered soul torn apart at the seams
