Apathy Killed the Artist

They all turn, their ears away
A never ending social game, we play
I can't give
I can't give
I can't give
I can't give
All I want is to share who I am
They all turn their ears away
All I try is to share who I am
Apathy Killed the Artist
Don't you be, an apathetic fool!
I can't give
I can't give
I can't give
I can't give
I can't give
I can't give

Extrovert vs Introvert
05:42

I guess I never want
To be that person now
Someone so insecure
Afraid to my core
The weight of my own mind
Dancing cautiously
The path in front of me
Will it set me free?
I am always feeling
The constant pressure
Of my peers
To be someone
I don't think I can be
Who you want
I need to be home
To reset and grow
I just needed
Some more time
To plan and deduct
Maybe I will pluck up the courage
To be like you
So full of life
You condescend me
To the point of rage
I only ask for
Consideration
Contest me if you will
Pray on my emotions
Try to tell me
It's insignificant

Everything
03:58

I have
Been here before
I'm not afraid
Convince yourself
You're not to blame
Run round in circles
Here we go again and again and again
Climb into that shell you always build
Hide away, from everyone you love
Fall again and don't let people see
You're still here and it means everything to me
I struggle more than you know
I just tend to hide it
I sometimes feel, I just need to go
Here we go again and again and again

Hindsight
04:00
|

I look back now and honestly
I'm not so bad
I'm just someone
Misunderstood!
Thoughts of grandeur and fear of failure
I only aim to please
I guess I'll fail
I may lose friends
But those cretins are in the past!
Regret is fuel, I know I have grown
You should have known me back then...
Living in a moment in the past
Falling through
I know it won't last
Living in some silly game
I don't know how to
Not look back!
A constant judging of my former self
I feel insulted I know you can tell
I'm not 18, I'm no perfect queen
I just know what I want
I hate who I am
I dislike who I was
I'm not the only one
If you need an ear
I am someone who will always be here!
A sense of perspective
Only comes with time
A slap to the face, of this life
It's good to look back with hindsight

Empathy Is Earned

Matt -
Far from everyone I know
I can't relate to you
Dan -
Feel the world or keep your heart alive
Matt -
I never considered myself an empath/someone who cares
Dan -
Hide away your mind will not survive
Matt -
Treat me as a victim
Tell me what I want to hear
Treat me as someone human
Take away
All of my fears!
Don't tell me how
I should feel about things you say
Don't tell me now
You don't agree and how I should
Have empathy!
Dan -
Far from everyone you know
We can't relate to you
Matt -
Feel the world or keep your heart alive
I'd never considered you empath/someone who cares
Matt -
Hide away your mind will not survive
Dan -
Treat me as a victim
Tell me what I want to hear
Treat me as someone human
Take away
All of my fears!
Don't tell me how
I should feel about things you say
Don't tell me now
You don't agree and how I should
Have empathy!
Matt -
It's okay, I won't be here
For long
I won't satisfy your ego
I don't need to
Dan -
Why don't you ask me?
How I am doing?
Or who I aim to be?
You're just selfish!
That's who you are!
Matt -
Consider me
I may not be
All there
So slow to
See just who you are
Dan -
Continue this vindiction
Addicted to self religion
And someday
That's all you will become
Matt -
Believe me!
When I say, I aim to go so much further!
Be more than I am
Right now!
Dan -
Chance is finite
Excite your own light
Don't ask for my hand, my hand
When so many extend.
Matt -
I have this thing
Where it's like
I can't see you
Emotionally blind
I only see broken glass behind
Dan -
You could be stronger
You could be the empath
Just lead by example
And let the others wallow
Matt -
In who they are!
Together -
Don't tell me how
I should feel about things you say
Don't tell me now
You don't agree and how I should
Have empathy!

Night Light

Tell me I'm normal and now I am happy
Tell me it's all gone away
Give me the answer and don't you shoot me down
I just want to sleep
I'm always fighting and searching
It's just to fill the time
I don't know where I am going
Everyone has their answer
A silent truth I should hear
A sharing of wisdom
Spouted without any fear
Tell me I'm normal and now I am happy
Tell me it's all gone away
Give me the answer and don't you shoot me down
The night is all one week to me
A need for routine will never suffice
It just boxes me in
And hurts my pride
And I can't get away

This album features impressive musical flexibility. Notably I am impressed by the fullness with which Kaine has grasped the concept of the heavy ballad.
