EMPATHY.
[Hook]
What am I remembered for when I'm gone?
I've got demons and they haunt
When they see me, they just taunt
But you still love me when I don't
There's no country for the calm
But I can't be what I was taught
Through whatever I walk, know I'll be fine
Long as I come back to open arms because...
[Bridge]
You feel me
I feel you
You feel just what I feel too
E-M-P, A-T-H-Y
E-M-P, A-T-H
You're my reason why
[Verse 1]
Tears in the eyes for lives that collide with the rhythmic swing of the pendulum
Confined to a prison of the mind, but confidе in the ribbon in the sky
Too conditioned to dеcide to forgive them
We abide by the judge, and reside in the system
Our heads are the wicks held high, they lit them, huh
What a sight
Now they're trying to dim it, when Poseidon couldn't put out my fire
Coincide with the love that we long for
Let me realign with the tides
They're steady catching bodies like trust falls
Better readjust, sometimes cutting ties is a must
Confidently hit decline when the lust calls
Cause I ain't defined by my trauma
My past is dark as my skin
Memories flooding back when my dad hit my momma
Those roles do reverse, steadfast to prevent
A dance with the Devil used to be enticing to me
Now I feel like Kratos, and Satan's a titan to me
My Laufey by my side, helping keep our life on a leash
Got to do better for you
Got to do better for me, trust
Why would money ever grow on trees
How you don't see the root of evil, us
Mask on the ground, past in the back of me
Never concerned what outsiders' reactions be
Even when changes come fast at me
The stress never lasting cause I've got you backing me
You feel what I feel, it's giving me chills
Not a dull moment passes we
Cause wherever you reside is where my passion be
[Hook]
What am I remembered for when I'm gone?

There's no country for the calm

Through whatever I walk, know I'll be fine

[Bridge]
You feel me
I feel you
You feel just what I feel too
E-M-P, A-T-H-Y
E-M-P, A-T-H
You're my reason why
[Verse 2]
You'd be surprised, with his back against the wall what a man does
On a drag route, tired of running flats
What a feeling when he falls and you're his reason to stand up
Very little more inspiring than that
Got to know when and when not to react
Got to know how to relax when your cup runneth over
That chip on your should never come with more problems attached
Deal with my ego like I deal with your pride, mm
Take it one day at a time
We work together to remain grounded while we rise
No wonder why we're both the prize, mm
And when my spirits get low and I'm feeling less pretty than usual
I know to cheer me up, you gon do everything you can do to reassure me I'm beautiful in and out
Let your soul speak
To grieve deeply is to love fully
Know your past was difficult to show me
Cause self-doubt can have a firm grip, causing cold feet
But I'm thankful
You take advantage of every chance you get to know me
All my dreams, goals, the quirks
Even differences between new and old me
Silence either golden or exposing
If you need to talk, know where home is
I know all your fears, you know mine
Insecurities in need of closure
Feel what you feel, vice versa
Be each other's peace within the madness
We are not our failures, we are worth it
[Hook]

[Bridge]
You feel me
I feel you
You feel just what I feel too
E-M-P, A-T-H-Y
E-M-P, A-T-H
You're my reason why
[Refrain]
You feel my pain and get what I'm saying
We've never felt love for real
Embracing the changes, growth in this game reminding me who I am
Heaven in front of me, be who I want
Cause of you, I choose to heal
Been alive so long, but never knew living
It's you that proved I can
[Outro]
You feel me
I feel you
You feel just what I feel too
