Sympathy Lyrics

Cynical sadistic

I've Learned to be realistic

Trying to see glass half full

Emptiness and silence

I'm hindered with blindness

But it's always darkest right before the dawn

I'll douse myself in kerosene and chemicals

Light a match and watch myself burn

Searching for sympathy in strangers

For lessons I'll never seem to learn

I'll watch me burn

I'll watch me burn

This all ends here tonight

My pointless plight

To bury this in the back of our mind

You never tried so hard

To lend a hand

To a beating heart

That's stopped beating

I'll douse myself in kerosene and chemicals

Light a match and watch myself burn

Searching for sympathy in strangers

For lessons I'll never seem to learn

Begging for the slightest bit of mercy

From the torture I've put on myself

I'll become a martyr with purpose

As I turn to ash and blame someone else
