Apathy

Apathy and empathy go toe-to-toe The secrets of the universe I long to know What’s it for? If it’s not all for show? Biding your time for the final blow One moment I’m freezing, the next, I’m soaking wet A sickening obsession, wake from nightmares dripping sweat My heart will catch up in my chest, familiar story, you know the rest The silent rage & anger build a hidden volcano erupts at will I’ll miss the vast open space And the fresh mountain air In this stifling situation With little patience to spare Summer came & left again, now I’ll watch the colors change Blowing leaves, soon to be set free, must find the whole thing strange This impermanence, a graceful dance, that’s stood the test of time Your beauty and the soul within, a glimpse of the divine But when the dust settles and we figure all this out Once our fears cease to meddle, we’ll know what we’re about I will hold on happily, until I lose the fight Even the wind will lose the sun, as we drift into the night I’ll miss the vast open space And the fresh mountain air In this stifling situation With little patience to spare credits from Echo Chamber, released October 16, 2019 “Apathy” Composed and Arranged by Jeff Warnock Music by Jeff Warnock, Christian Sheridan Vocals: Jeff Warnock All recording, mixing, and mastering done at Empath Eyes Studio Keyboards: Christian Sheridan Guitars: Jeff Warnock Percussion: Jeff Warnock Producers: Jeff Warnock, Christian Sheridan Engineer: Jeff Warnock
