Artificial Empathy

from Eternities by Particle Thief

/

lyrics

in silence I reflect
on instances that we've let slip by
self loathing I resent
yet welcome as it seeps inside

I realize that theres no use
you've made up your mind. it's done. move on.
I can't just let it go.
this wound wont heal itself

It looks like this is all we have
a fading glimpse of what we
used to be
A passing smile
I'm broken;
a long lost memory

I can't let go
I won't let go
I can't let go
I won't let go

years later I reflect
on instances that we've let slip by
what did we have? I forget
it wasn't what I thought it meant

I realized I was used
I've made up my mind. I'm done. I'm gone.
I had to let it go
and now the wound is healed.

It looks like this is all we have
a fading glimpse of what we
used to be
A passing smile
i'm broken;
a long lost memory

It looks like this was all you had
a fading interest in what
we could be
we're broken
i guess it's nothing more than
artificial empathy

i can let go
I must let go
I can let go
I must let go


Touching everything,
(echoed)
searching hopefully
(echoed)
breaking mentally
(echoed)
decoding what I see
(echoed)
Feeling empathy
(echoed)
Hidden within me
(echoed)
Trying everything
(echoed)
Flying in between
(echoed)
Landing on the sea
(echoed)
Floating endlessly
(echoed)
Voices whispering
(echoed)
somewhere
I can't see

They sing to me, and now I rise
They carry me, we harmonize
into the light,

I can't lose
I won't lose
I can't lose
I won't lose
