00:03In the quiet room where wounds are named a single word is spoken
00:17and the walls begin to crack.
00:48She sat across from the healer of the mind Pouring out the fire she had carried so long
00:59Feel for the ones you call the builders of chains The healer said soft or the pain will stay strong
01:07Her eyes turned to blades, her voice like a blade Empathy for them, then you should not stay
01:16They built every shadow that fell on my path Lose your place at the table for speaking that way
01:24The room grew colder The truth started speaking Though no one would name it
01:36The silence was leaking There's a rule in the temple of healing and care
01:45You may rage at the strong but never repair Call it justice, call it history's weight
01:54But the forbidden word is simply relate Feel for the ones who were never allowed to carry the same weight
02:05Without being proud The ones who built walls and then stood in the rain
02:11The ones you may blame But never name pain
02:32Outside the room the same pattern runs deep In pulpits and feats and the stories we keep
02:40The purpose seeker stood watching the night Mapping the places where empathy died
02:49He saw the same fire in a thousand more faces The same collective ledger of ancient disgraces
02:57You may not soften The culture declared Their fathers' fathers already prepared
03:06The womb keeps demanding A permanent debt
03:13And the more that is paid The deeper the next
03:22There's a rule in the temple of healing and care You may rage at the strong but never repair
03:30Call it justice, call it history's weight But the forbidden word is simply relate
03:39Feel for the ones who were never allowed To carry the same weight without being proud
03:47The ones who built walls and then stood in the rain The ones you may blame
03:56But never name pain
04:01They told us the power was poison and prize That taking the lead was the root of the cries
04:09But the older design spoke a quieter law Submission to higher brings peace to the floor
04:17When the woman is crowned and the man is the foe The bitterness grows and the children will know
04:26Oh that empathy band is a prison of pride And the ones who refuse it are the ones who still
04:34hide
04:37There is no more temple that can hold this lie The healer who listens is the one they will try
04:45Yet the truth keeps rising like light through the crack You cannot heal hatred by keeping the stack
04:53Feel for the ones you were taught to despise The ones with the same blood behind different eyes
05:02The ones who still stand when the narrative falls The ones who were never the villains at all
05:14The ones who know The ones who know Already know The rest will feel it When the song starts to
05:28grow
05:40The ones with the same blood on the surface
05:43And all that fear
05:48You cannot be giving away the van
05:52But now I can't sit here
05:52I can't believe it
05:53The one who you go
05:58I can't believe it
