Empathy
Fist Benders Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fears onto me
But be forewarned
I have empathy
I'm love again with
Fleeting, honest feelings
Desperate hearts living up
To downplay their beating
Force us forward
Scars protected from healing
Fate's not
Real, but
How I wish it was I
Wish I knew things would get alright
Free from
Certainty
We have
Enough
Love in
Our hearts
To pump
Every instinct from our guts
