Empathic (original)

Empathic, I can feel it. Compassion, It’s misleading. It's a pattern, Is it breathing? It’s just fashion, Numb my feelings. X2 Teach me the words, That made meaning matter. It’s a wonder, What we're chasing after. I wonder, Was it always this quiet. Between whats said, And what's taken for granted? Empathic, I can feel it. Compassion, It’s misleading. It's a pattern, Is it breathing? It’s just fashion, Numb my feelings. X2 There’s something in the way,
 You pause between words.
 Like everyone knows,
 Just how much you hurt. When you speak it in riddles, I feel it tripled. I heard it topple, And now I'm concerned. Empathic, I can feel it. Compassion, It’s misleading. It's a pattern, Is it breathing? It’s just fashion, Numb my feelings. X2
