Human Grain Part I An Absence Of Empathy

Frameshift

[Human Grain I - An Absence of Empathy]

 Flashing news, flashing lights
 TV says we're alright
 Transmitting pain by satellite
 I think there's some of that inside
 All of us a little bit
 Fight the evil deep within
 Is some of what I fear in me
 Close my mind, fall asleep
 Play my games to fill the need
 Quench that thirst, make 'em bleed
 All pretend, just
 Killing fingers get my fix

 Spread your mind wide open
 Let your conscience be free
 What you will not show them
 You must show to me
 Let me look through your eyes
 Let me see what you see
 Let me see who I am

 Every day the same ol' shit
 Doesn't bother you a bit
 Stories of another day
 Pull me in between the grey
 Flip the pages black and white
 Reading headings line by line
 See the print crawl up on me
 "Just one more proves too many"

 You're afraid to show me
 What evil might be
 But I'm gonna find out
 Absence of empathy

 Flashing news, flashing lights
 Blinding pain in my eyes
 TV says we're alright
 Does it take a tie to tie
 Wanna know more what they ignore
 If you do you must explore
 So here I am kick down the door
 I'm tapping louder than before

 Once I get inside
 The grain of my own kind
