Empathy Songtext
von Christie Chirinos

Does that fast car help you feel better?
Do those guitars help you feel better?
Something to want
Something to see yourself in the light
That you wish everybody else would see
It′s a sick disease
But I've got one thing

I had to learn the hard way
I can see places you don′t know exist
Where lines are thin
Between ice and fire
Love to the wire
Can meet another possibility
You can always run
But you cannot hide
From the weakness that will bring you down


Aren't you mad that I can feel it?
Aren't you mad that I can feel it?
Aren′t you mad that everything you do
I can do better
Everything you want
I already have it
Everything you try
To me it comes easy
I can feel the way it makes you mad

Do you feel in control when you′re lying?
Do you feel strong and centered as you're planning?
Subtle attack, just like a missile
Nobody knows except for you and me
And now I sit
And I watch you talk
And I see ticks
And they go tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock, tick
And you′re so mad that I can feel it

Aren't you mad that I can feel it?
Aren′t you mad that I can feel it?
Aren't you mad that everything you do
I can do better
Everything you want
I already have it
Everything you try
To me it comes easy
I can feel the way it makes you mad


I had to learn the hard way
I can see places you don′t know exist
Where lines are thin
Between ice and fire
Love to the wire
Can meet another possibility
You can always run
But you cannot hide
From the weakness that will bring you down

Or maybe you feel nothing at all
Maybe you feel nothing at all
I might be crazy
And maybe you feel nothing at all
