Pendragon - Empathy lyrics

As God sit's with His head in His hands
Tapping His pen on the ashtray
Cos the humans just don’t get ugly
Back from the dead with your
Head in your hands
Banging your fists on the table like a monkey

In these words from Solomon’s hand
Everything I know must pass
It’s the only way I can grow
Passion? Give me some empathy
(don’t let me down)
You took the car to the highest viewing point
A place of outstanding natural beauty
Where everything is plain to see

This intoxicating mixture of self
Loathing and ecstasy
I wish I could just be grateful
The more I live the less I know
It’s only spinning molecules
Racing back and forth
So why does it feel so bad?
If this energy exists forever
Everything you need to know you already know

Cos I’m signing on the dole
And I’m signing my life away
I just want you to know how
This makes me feel today
I don’t care what you write or
What you say about me
Cos I just wanna see some empathy
Cos most of us are too afraid
To come out in the sunlight
And get shot down in flames for
What we believe is right

This makes me shit scared and scarred
Like the fire in the sky is
Like the fire in your heart
And I don’t need to be
Ripping myself apart for you, for you
But the time has come to understand
The depths of the soul and it’s at your most
Broken you will understand
Like we do, like we do
For you for you for you for you
