[Intro] [Verse 1] I kept my head down, minimized my footprint Grinding my teeth until the jaw clicked Swallowed the gravel you left behind! Always the crutch, carrying your dead weight You fed me scraps and called it a feast I'm s-s-suffocating! TO SAY THE LEAST! [Pre-Chorus] I thought emptying my veins would buy me an ounce of respect But you just stared at the floor! [Chorus] THE EMPATHY IS DEAD! I'm done taking this shit, and carrying the blame I'M SEVERING THE NERVE! You asked for a martyr, now deal with the threat NOW WATCH IT COLLAPSE! [Verse 2] Hand out. Palm up. Expecting the world. Not today. Starve. I spent decades making sure you were comfortable Now I’m ripping the foundation right out from under you Choke on the dust! [Bridge] I'm done holding my breath to keep you afloat Stop begging for water while I'm swallowing dirt... [Heavy Breakdown] Walk. All. Over. Me. Not another inch. Not another inch. KNOW YOUR PLACE! [Final Chorus] THE EMPATHY IS DEAD! (IS DEAD!) I'm done taking this shit, and carrying the blame (THE BLAME!) I'M SEVERING THE NERVE! (THE NERVE!) You asked for a martyr, now deal with the threat NOW WATCH IT COLLAPSE! [Outro]
