Empathy Lyrics

Quit freaking out at me
Can't you see it's hard to keep on moving

With the weight of the world
Tied around my feet
It's dragging me slowly
(It's hard to keep going)

And I'm just another checkmark baby
(On your list to fuck over today)
And I'm only trying to say this maybe
It'd be best to stay, away,

(Stay away, stay away, stay away from me)
(Just stay away)

Why don't you show a little empathy?
A false hope sense of sympathy?
Throw yourself into the sea
And wash the pain away

Come on, take another breath with me
And sing our bedtime melodies
I could make up harmonies
If only you would stay
Away

Alright
Check check can you hear me through your ignorance
Cashing out is the way you live your life
Your change of passion is nothing but irrelevant
When the sense you carry causes strife

I'm just another checkmark baby
(On your list to fuck over today)
And I'm only trying to say this maybe
It'd be best to stay, away,

(Stay away, stay away, stay away from me)
(Stay away, stay away, stay away from me)
(Stay away, stay away, stay away from me)
(Stay away, stay away, stay away from me)
(Just stay away)

Why don't you show a little empathy?
A false hope sense of sympathy?
Throw yourself into the sea
And wash the pain away

Come on, take another breath with me
And sing our bedtime melodies
I could make up harmonies
If only you would stay
Away
Away
Away

(Solo Section)

I'm just another checkmark baby
(On your list to fuck over today)
And I'm only trying to say this maybe
It'd be best to stay, away
But I'm just another checkmark baby
(On your list to fuck over today)
And I'm only trying to say this maybe
It'd be best to stay, away

(Stay away, stay away, stay away from me)
(Stay away, stay away, stay away from me)
(Stay away, stay away, stay away from me)
(Stay away, stay away, stay away from me)
(Just stay away)
