lyrics

She said there’s something that I recall
The man in the story was ten feet tall
His arms were as long as his legs
I listen hard to every word that she says

The room it was rather small
He showed no frustration at all
And though he barely fit inside
It was her with heavy burden on her mind

She said “Are you listing to me?
All I ask for is empathy
Can’t you see what’s troubling me?”
All she wants is empathy
Empathy

His hands dragged along the floor
His knuckles always bruised with pain and sore
His head scraped along the ceiling
Words can’t describe the pain he was feeling

Walls closing in on every side
A feeling which he never denied
And though he tried hard to keep a smile on his face
Something makes her angry what he can’t place

When she says “Are you listing to me?
All I ask for is empathy
Can’t you see what’s troubling me?”
All she wants is empathy
Empathy

She says “You don’t have to read my mind,
But do you have to be so blind?
You only think about yourself
For once, think of someone else.”

His ears were as big as his head
His eyes oversized and red
Most things he could see and hear
He never saw what upset her, I fear

Zach Jones Los Angeles, California

With an encyclopedic knowledge of yesterday’s music and an awareness and appreciation for today’s, Jones combines the raw energy and style of the 1960’s British pop explosion, with the soulful expression of the R&B that poured from Motown & Stax. While paying tribute to the music he loves, yet expanding beyond tradition, Jones has created a fresh musical melting pot of modern rock, pop, and soul. ... more
