The Price Of Higher Consciousness Is Pain

Sure, you let the good times roll.
There's no toll
On happiness
Right?
You let the chips fall
Where they may.
If it ain't today
There's tomorrow.
Okay?
You say with a smirk on your face.
Cause you know there's no place
For the kind of disgrace that
Knowing far more than you should
Will allow.
When you care too much and you
Know there ain't much
Chance that someone will care more than you do.
Empathy hurts and
Empathizer's desserts
Are sweet with a topping of sour.
