[As I Lay Dying - Anger and Apathy lyrics]
I've tried to find reconciliation behind the
Walls of those whose hatred burns
For I find it easier to
Reach someone who still feels
Than to make amends with passionless apathy
Where all lines are the same
A portrait cannot be made
I need to burn inside
I need to know that you are alive
I need to know that feelings of discontent
Are stronger than indifference for those
Too weak to stand
Like a colorless sky over
A sea of nothingness
Hatred faces it's enemies while
Apathy strikes furtively
I need to burn inside
I need to know that you are alive
I need to know that feelings of discontent
Are stronger than indifference for those
Too weak to stand
I need to know that feelings of discontent
Are stronger than indifference for those
Too weak to stand
Until our anger burns against injustice
We will create the faceless by
Dismissing those forced to concede
Many of us have turned off the light outside
Erasing what exists beyond our front door
And for you I find it harder to reach
Common ground than my most glaring opposition
But what about those who've lost
The luxury of choice?
Striving for identity, buried by
Our lack of interest
Souls marked as mere history
How much grievance will it take to awaken us?
I need to know that feelings of discontent
Are stronger than indifference for those
Too weak to stand
I need to know that feelings of discontent
Are stronger than indifference for those
Too weak to stand
How much grievance will it take to awaken
Us from the comfort of our homes?
The comfort of our oversized graves
I've tried to find reconciliation
I've tried to find reconciliation
Walls of those whose hatred burns
For I find it easier to
Reach someone who still feels
Than to make amends with passionless apathy
Where all lines are the same
A portrait cannot be made
I need to burn inside
I need to know that you are alive
I need to know that feelings of discontent
Are stronger than indifference for those
Too weak to stand
Like a colorless sky over
A sea of nothingness
Hatred faces it's enemies while
Apathy strikes furtively
I need to burn inside
I need to know that you are alive
I need to know that feelings of discontent
Are stronger than indifference for those
Too weak to stand
I need to know that feelings of discontent
Are stronger than indifference for those
Too weak to stand
Until our anger burns against injustice
We will create the faceless by
Dismissing those forced to concede
Many of us have turned off the light outside
Erasing what exists beyond our front door
And for you I find it harder to reach
Common ground than my most glaring opposition
But what about those who've lost
The luxury of choice?
Striving for identity, buried by
Our lack of interest
Souls marked as mere history
How much grievance will it take to awaken us?
I need to know that feelings of discontent
Are stronger than indifference for those
Too weak to stand
I need to know that feelings of discontent
Are stronger than indifference for those
Too weak to stand
How much grievance will it take to awaken
Us from the comfort of our homes?
The comfort of our oversized graves
I've tried to find reconciliation
I've tried to find reconciliation
