Shakespeare Empathy Lyrics by Ghostfeeder

Star Beast

2016

[Verse 1]
Blood diamonds
Fool's gold
The world's your stage now
You're fake
You're getting old
But you're holding on somehow
[Pre-Chorus 1]
So much suffering
Over petty things
So easy to forget
Midas fingertips
Locked in a death grip
Wrapped around your neck
​[Chorus]
You're no messiah
With your Shakepeare empathy
We're growing weary of the constant tradgedy
You're not a savior
If the sacrifice is symptomatic
You need it like an addict
Stop being so dramatic
(Stop being so dramatic)
​[Pre-Chorus 2]
Rescue madness
From the jaws of happiness
No rest for the tragic
Take this victory
Twist it into misery
This failure is automatic
[Chorus]
​You're no messiah
With your Shakepeare empathy
We're growing weary of the constant tradgedy
You're not a savior
If the sacrifice is symptomatic
You need it like an addict
Stop being so dramatic
(Stop being so dramatic)
[Bridge]
I refuse to pay you applause
Under your falling sky
I refuse to be your audience
While you beg me to watch you die
[Chorus]
​You're no messiah
With your Shakepeare empathy
We're growing weary of the constant tradgedy
You're not a savior
If the sacrifice is symptomatic
You need it like an addict
Stop being so dramatic
(Stop being so dramatic)
​
[Post-Chorus]
My patience for your fantasy
Has finally gone away
So you can read your eulogy
All alone
Far away
