Empathy

What does it mean
To feel constantly unsafe?
Always present, on the edge
When does it end?
When does it end?
Though moments bitter, I resent
There's nothing more fucked than what's going on inside your head

I am tired of defense
Of you sitting on the fence
Nothing's changed when nothing's said
Is this really what you meant?
But he got just what he wanted
Took it all and now I'm haunted
By the memory breathing heavy over me

Can't get it off my mind
It feels like a waste of time
To wait to see you feel the weight of empathy

Can't get it off my mind
It feels like a waste of time
To wait to see you feel the weight of empathy
And how you consumed me

'Cause you tried everything you could on me
And though you never asked, I could barely breathe
Another moment wasted, I am crying in the basement
And you linger at the bottom with my fear

Can't get it off my mind
It feels like a waste of time
To wait to see you feel the weight of empathy
And how you consumed me
