• When I think of others suffering
    I forget about my own
    They seem so small and insignificant
    When I see I'm not alone

    I whine and gripe about my misfortunes
    Never thinking twice
    Yet when I feel the acid burning
    I feel like I'm trapped behind a wall of ice

    That acid is another's pain
    Filling up my soul
    Mixing with my own self doubts
    To take its deadly toll

    To hear the screams of a thousand people
    To feel the pain of a thousand lives
    Ripped and torn and bleeding
    To know the betrayal of a thousand lies

    All around I look
    I see hurt expressions and empty glares
    Open wounds and torn stitches
    I can feel the world's pain in one helpless stare
