Empathy

Blood rushes through my head
There's no silence when I'm bleeding
Try to hide myself away
In the woods I hear a beating
Try to push the pawns away
They're coming at my queen and king

Blood rushes through my brains
I think I'm finally reimagining
A life so far away
I don't want to live in misery
So I push the past away
And i feed the future company

Blood rushes through my arms
There's a crazy man inside me
What a way to be dismayed
It's been squashed upon the ceiling
And the spider tries to gaze
But has grasped its soul this evening

I look into the breeze
Oh my sight is so deceiving
So I break away from me
And I wake up in a coppice
And I'm looking through the trees
And I realize I've been dreaming

I've grabbed onto the reins
There's no direction I can turn in
Without facing all the rain
In my face to blind my vision
So I guess I'll deem this phase
Another episode of being

Blood rushes down the drain
As I stick a little sticker
On the window for the flies
To harness to until they die
But I won't stare or watch them cry
But I will speak with you of empathy.
