lyrics

i hope that you see – no hyperbole – the world would benefit from your end
whatever relief you might need from me won’t deliver you from where you’ll be sent

what made you think that you could set one over all – damn your intent
privileging few because of your ineptitude to be mature
thoughtless instinct to save your own, made victims of countless unknown
uncaring punk, self-centred snake, you’ll never live down your mistakes
what’s more, your acts – beyond the pale – were partisan + personal
who made you god? myopic judge, pansophy marred, compassion crushed
now – here we are, your luck consumed, my retribution coming soon
but don’t expect this to be swift, your death will be quite progressive

whatever release you might want from me will not spare you from the where you’ll be sent
and i trust that you see – no hyperbole – the world will benefit from your end
the way that you stare – beset, prepared – a depositioning you seem to accept
just don’t misread this as a misdeed, you’re getting less than what you merit

we’re not the same, you’re inhumane, if i back down you’ll do it again
are we the same? am i humane? if i back down would you do it again?

you don’t know me / i don’t know you

“empathy is the feeling that aims at the feeling of another consciousness. this means that empathy involves a felt response to another conscious being, that this feeling is directed towards the feelings of the other (but it may or may not be isomorphic with the other’s feelings…it doesn’t necessarily have to involve the exact same feelings), and that empathy requires maintaining a distinction between self and other. it allows us to experience others as ‘other.’ from a phenomenological perspective, empathy is just a feature of our everyday perceptual life. empathy is an aesthetic feeling, not essentially a moral one. this view highlights the embodied nature of consciousness” – dr. ellie anderson.

plot twist: you/we don’t get to rush this
