You say you're an empath,
you feel too much,
Emotional Rollercoaster and such,
To shut out the noises inside of your brain,
Can't deal so you feel for the numbness again,
On a higher or a lower plane,
You sink so far you hit the bottom,
A simple way to deal with pain,
Anaesthetized by the bottle,
All of your dreams came true,
Nothing can harm you,
All of your fears came true,
Nothing can harm you...
The light burns brightest when you cannot see,
The dark can't find you in Bacardi breeze,
Ten years on top of the pole,
Still lower than ground as you've dug your own hole,
On a higher or a lower plane,
You sink so far you pass the bottom,
The Modern way to deal with shame,
Enlightenment straight from the bottle,
All of your dreams came true,
Nothing can harm you,
All of your fears came true,
Nothing can harm you...
Except Yourself.
