Selfish Sorrow lyrics

It is a self sorrowing reaction

The pursuit of self satisfaction

Exceeding the desire of devotion

So tears disappear amid this ocean

The id pays a terrible tribute

In the ego's shadowed pursuit

Another's feelings flow away

In a cyberic tide ebbing today

Because self regard is stronger

Than consideration longer

A cold place in darkened intent

Where all that was love is spent

The unobliging, unmanageable

Traded against the tangible

An empty hand, an empty heart

All that is left, no remark

For excuses lost their meaning

Attacks fall short in being

The very nature of human loss

Emojis fail to mend the cost

The electronic reality

Must give way to humanity

For the mortal heart beating

Bleeds in life's cheating

There can be no anger ere

Such a pitiful soul of despair

Alone in apathetic haze

Blind to all, all their days
