Empathy Malfunction

this is the empathy malfunction

this is the social disconnect

we shed our skins to be belonging

and what we give is what we get

this is the empathy malfunction

electrons make us all forget

we lie together, mix our systems

we misfire / we reject

oh, we reject

I am the demon at your window

I am the devil at your door

I’ll never leave, I never meant to

I never learnt to ask for more

I’ll keep on tearing all your senses

I’ll keep on tearing you away

You are my everything and nothing

You are the one who makes me stay

I see myself outside your window

I see myself outside your room

I’ll climb the rooftops, fuck the neighbours

I’m coming, baby, be there soon

And we can scream out all the filters

And we can strangle this monsoon

I’ll weather all your painful winters

I’m sorry, honey, be there soon

I never had some place to think of

I never had some place to be

This box was never home for long now

This place was never home to me

You’re going through while I’m away

Tidy up remnants, I never meant to stay

Bitter memories

The sweets and paraloids

Brighter days

Brighter days
