Story Behind The Song

A view at inequity from a position of privilege.

Song Description

Privilege in an unfair world

Lyrics

Ghost of Sympathy

What do you want?
What do you need?
What does it cost you to breathe?

Is everything
That you want
Disregarded up front?

The close your eyes and see
The other half, they'll bleed

It's my position
For extradition
It's an imposition
Reprieve

If they take
What you'll cede
Brings suicidal daydreams

Then close your eyes for me
The ghost of sympathy
I'll close my eyes and be
devoid of all my greed

Ain't no other way around it
I wanted you to see
Through all these words in passing, sir
The other half...it's me :)
