Elegy to Empathy Lyrics


The daylight fades.

I close my eyes.

This pains me more than you will know

I hold it inside.

This is the end of me.

I’ve become all I can bear to be.

This is that which I can’t undo.

From me to you.

From me to you.

I’m sorry.

All empathy.

This is that which I can’t undo.

This is my apology to you.

Your silence takes me whole.

I’m standing alone.

This is the end of me.

I’ve become all I can bear to be.

This is that which I can’t undo.

This is my apology to you.

I’ll break my word as you broke my heart.

I apologize for being everything you never wanted me to be

and so I stand here and scream

at those who made me be

for allowing me to live this fate.

This is my elegy.

He was a good man.

He was a simple quiet man.

He always kept to himself.

He always kept to himself.

Well he was a good man.

So much to understand.

He always kept to himself.

Why’d you keep to yourself?

This is my elegy.
