Lyrics
Anger and Apathy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've tried to find reconciliation behind the walls of those whose hatred burns
For I find it easier to reach someone who still feels
Than to make amends with passionless apathy
Where all lines are the same a portrait cannot be made
I need to burn inside. I need to know that you are alive
I need to know that feelings of discontent are stronger
Than indifference for those too weak to stand
Like a colorless sky over a sea of nothingness
Hatred faces its enemies while apathy strikes furtively
I need to burn inside. I need to know that you are alive
I need to know that feelings of discontent are stronger
Than indifference for those too weak to stand
I need to know that feelings of discontent are stronger
Than indifference for those too weak to stand...
Until our anger burns against injustice, we will create
The faceless by dismissing those forced to concede
Many of us have turned off the light outside, erasing what exists beyond our front door
And for you I find it harder to reach common ground than my most glaring opposition
But what about those who've lost the luxury of choice?
...Striving for identity, buried by our lack of interest, souls marked as mere history
How much grievance will it take to awaken us?
I need to know that feelings of discontent are stronger
Than indifference for those too weak to stand
I need to know that feelings of discontent are stronger
Than indifference for those too weak to stand...
How much grievance will it take to awaken us from the comfort of our homes?
...The comfort of our oversized graves
I've tried to find reconciliation... I've tried to find reconciliation...
