lirik lagu everett michael - the cursed gift (empathy)

[verse 1]
to some i’m damaged goods
to me, i’m good and damaged
forever i was told
“well that just shouldn’t happen.”
but anyone spilling words to me
inadvertently took advantage
felt like i knew why i’m here:
to dry the tears of this crooked planet
started young, pops at work
wouldn’t see him till sunset
moms held the fort down, and of course now
i’m sensing some stress
every time she gripped the leather
of monotony, sick as ever could get
telling us kids we’d better buck down
and keep our sh~t together
i’m 8 years old and i felt that
lot of emotions could’ve been held back
but i absorbed them all, cuz my lord was calling
me to turn into an empath
then fast forward
our hero’s a little more grown up
guided through life, but who was gon’ sit him down
and figure out what his role was?
n0body but me
why’s everybody got their heart on their sleeve?
talking to the kid, cuz they wanted relief
but when it come to drama i’d see
they were gonna let me fall to my feet
that’s the mentality and cause of my grief
use my sin as a cathartic release
i thought it would ease my stress, but instead
it just fell onto all of my peeps
i managed poorly. who would understand my story?
my only option was coming up with heat so fire
they can’t ignore me
like californi~a, so burnt but i’m still holding up
won’t hurt me to be cold to the
ones who tried making me the lonely one
i’ll own you punks!
ask for those who give from their heart
i might can show you some, but
other than my blood
aybody giving to me out of freedom
was close to none
conditioned myself to believe that
so to the pain i’m going numb
hoping that a hopeless man, i won’t become
let’s go!
[hook #1]
am i gifted? or am i cursed?
will i be lifted? or stuck on earth?
is this empathy a remedy for sickness?
or will it magnify my problems even worse?
can i survive? can i be sane?
how can i thrive? through all this pain?
could this really be the reason i’m alive?
or could there be something greater left to gain?

[verse 2]
i been, living by the teachings of nietzsche and x
i know there’s something more to believe in
than being depressed
life is a series of tests
and although we wallow in fear
of not seeing what’s next
the air that we’re breathing is blessed
every exhalation i take is with purpose
thinking it’s worthless
can leave me bound to a grave in the dirt
which ain’t where i flourish
i’m breaking the surface
cuz somebody’s got to empower the weak
take the skin off the wolf
and see it’s just a cowardly sheep
the powers that be, wanting me to embrace the fact
that ain’t n0body doing for me
so i’ve got to pay them back
i’ll pay it forward, i know when a struggle is dormant
and helping another overcome it is just as important
the silent sufferers walk so the criers are heard
but that doesn’t mean the former
should be shy with their words
let all that weight off your wings
go and fly with the birds
the fullest life is a life you deserve
let’s go
[hook #2]
always gifted. never cursed
i will be lifted, beyond this earth
i am empathy, a remedy for sickness
so i’m the reason there’s relief from all the hurt
i will survive. i will be sane
i have to thrive, despite the pain
to bear it all is the reason i’m alive
cuz when it’s gone, i’ll have everything to gain

[outro]
this just gets harder and harder, man
i really don’t know how much more of this i can deal with
i need help
no other way around it, i just need help
