[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' s**t
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
