Empathy Lyrics
Crystal Castles
Lyrics
Premise to interlude
Wait till all bones pretrude
You're convexed, you're convert
There is a stain on your shirt
Semi-sweet, semicide
The remorse you can't hide
Now we molt, past our skin
And make room to begin
Symmetry
You must work in symmetry
You must earn their empathy
Empathy, empathy, empathy
Symmetry
You must work in symmetry
You must earn their empathy
Empathy, empathy, empathy
Down, down, cities fall down on me
Down, down, cities fall down on me
Down, down, cities fall down on me
Down, down, cities fall down on me
The final chrysalis
Self-controlled consciousness
Now it feels omminent
Done for your benefit
Eat right out of their hand
Its concaved all your glands
We're encouraged to forget
Preference to be forcefed
Symmetry
You must work in symmetry
You must earn their empathy
Empathy, empathy, empathy
Symmetry
You must work in symmetry
You must earn their empathy
Empathy, empathy, empathy
Down, down, cities fall down on me
Down, down, cities fall down on me
Down, down, cities fall down on me
Down, down, cities fall down
You must earn our empathy
You must earn our empathy
You must earn our empathy
You must earn our empathy
You must earn our empathy
You must earn our empathy
You must earn our empathy
