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 can't sleep, I can't write
I can't eat, I can't fight
This damned old apathy is killing me
I can't love, I can't hate
I can't run, I can't wait
This damned old apathy is killing me
Ooh oh babe, I'm feelin' so damned low
'Cause I've been waiting around here
And I can wait anymore
Ooh honey, you don't treat me nice at all
You lead me to the edge
And then you ask me why I fall
You ask me why I fall
I can't sleep, I can't write
I can't eat, I can't fight
This damned old apathy is killing me
I can't love, I can't hate
I can't run, I can't wait
This damned old apathy is killing me
Ooh oh babe, I don't care no more
I don't remember fighting
But I feel like I lost the war
Ooh child, I'm gonna leave you with this song
If you don't believe I'm leaving
Count the days I'm gone
Count the days I'm gone
Who needs this damned old apathy
It's wearing out my heart and drying out my brain
Oh set me free from this damned old apathy
This damned old apathy
I can't laugh, I can't cry
I can't live and I can't die
'Cause this damned old apathy is killing me
I can't end, I can't begin
I can't lose but I can' win
'Cause this damned old apathy is killing me
This damned old apathy is killing me
Ah this damned old apathy is killing me
This damned old apathy (Who needs apathy?)
This damned old apathy (Who needs apathy?)
