Empathy
I can't hear you anymore.
I don't need to, I don't have to,
I don't wanna listen anymore.
I've swung too far from ego to Apathy.
I used to be empathetic,
every decision is becoming hectic.
Everybody was pulling me under,
it's beginning to make me wonder.
Why do I feel like I'm arguing with myself?
Is it me, is it everybody else?
I'm so concerned about you, so much dwelling with all of this.
I've made myself so sick of all of it.
So sick of all of it.
So sick of all of it.
Common sense nonexistent.
So sick of all it.
Don't push me, cause I'm close to the edge.
I'm trying not to lose my head.
Sometimes sometimes it makes me wonder
how I keep from going under.
I am,
I am no longer Empathetic.
I have realized it's feeble and pathetic.

[@KINGOVDECEPTION]

this is the traitors i know and love

[@sweetteathedj]

Probably my favorite out of the singles. Sounds like old traitors

[@anthonylethbridge7504]

DOES IT??

[@gebrelel-khamlichi8414]

sounds like they've gone from downtempo to nu

[@sweetteathedj]

It's a nice transition. A lot of bands right now are changing in a bad way. I love that this still sounds like Traitors

[@gebrelel-khamlichi8414]

Ik it is still brutal af but I prefer the sludge

[@Factory26_]

Hits you in the feels, and in the throat.

[@I_Am_BearSquatch]

the first :40 seconds make me feel like I'm falling through a pit into the depths of hell. Shortly afterwards I find myself walking through this new dimension I've stumbled upon then BOOM, first boss fight. Intermittent conflict, introspective despair, overcoming despair, and then I'm finding my way to the throne of hell to become the new King after battle hardened experiences that have graced me on my journey. Idk tho....

[@user-bk2ti4eu8u]

Thank you so much, I wasn't excited for this due to my lack on interest in the flow of the other songs (still loved traitors, style just wasn't doing it for me) but fuck this makes me happy .. Tyler knows he has two set of fans. The ones who bitch about the songs being beatdown/downtempo and say its talentless.. then us who will fuck them up at a show because slow and heavy is brutal which makes our day. Love you guys

[@danielturnage]

fuckin fuck yea! Can't wait for this album to drop !!

[@TREVZRR]

Fuck yeah sounding like the old shit

[@Krydvj]

this is the traitors I love

[@Ghost17110]

ayy g59 we in here

[@Krydvj]

ayyy

[@stustockwell]

we errywhere fam

[@dropkickpennyday9576]

YES! The bull bellows are back

[@UponThisAltar]

Yep, this is a Traitors single for sure. Very similar to hate campaign's feel, and boy am I excited for more now.

[@thebeefcheef]

fuck yeah dude cool svarttjern picture

[@UponThisAltar]

Mark Khouri You're the third person to say that! It's an Infant Annihilator shirt actually.

[@thebeefcheef]

oh no way lol it looks just like this one album they have! I fucking love infant annihilator tho they're amazing. you should deff check out svarttjern tho

[@Ghost17110]

These singles so far have been dope, will probably be AOTY for me.

[@DonTheSlayer]

When the tempo changed at 2:36 I lost my mind.

[@GoldSamplemasters]

you're a moron , the tempo didn't change just the rythem

[@noahk5015]

you're a moron, that's not how you spell rhythm

[@metallheadowl6005]

shitstorm u cant even say ass r u 7 go listen to barney or somthing or play with legos

[@deaththompson]

Don I fucking know dude holy shit that fucking "UUUUUGH" that Tyler does to start that breakdown makes me fucking lose my mind too

[@jonathanaustin2931]

@Chris Lee 100% changed lol

[@threethirty3323]

The lyrics of this song hit me on another level. As an empath that has spent years wasted on people that couldn’t give a fuck about me finding this song today marks a new beginning

[@juliuscaesar1388]

This song keeps me coming back.

[@fxcrimmy1638]

I'm literally like crying right now.. like deadass shaking and shit #RipTraitors

[@ToGoldRoad]

I'm so excited for this album

[@backshift6974]

I still listen to this

[@bryanwilliams423]

I have a feeling that I'm going to love this album.

[@Twitch0n3]

"Don't push me, cause I'm close to the edge. I'm trying not to lose my head. Sometimes sometimes it makes me wonder how I keep from going under. " ...

[@THR1LLA115]

Yeah that's called a grandmaster flash reference.

[@Mahoney51]

@@THR1LLA115 @Twitch0n3 I made my short shorts all slimy when I heard that reference live!

[@guilhermevagaba9143]

Alguém em plena pandemia ouvindo as músicas dessa banda maravilhosa?

[@jamaica4lifes]

Good shit. Ego trip and nu hate had me skeptical but waste away and this sounds like traitors.

[@TheCarTakerGarage]

i pretty much like Nu Hate..awwwesome song i think.This one to is killer!Just gotta love these guys!Cheeers from Norway

[@treyflair7281]

You like bands that don't progress.. typical..

[@jamaica4lifes]

Trey Flair Lmao, when did I say anything negative? Said I was skeptical. You're fucking stupid... Typical..

[@DevinMarkovichMetal]

Nu hate is like the best song tho? hahah. I don't know if many people would agree with you tbh. You didn't say anything negative nah, but Nu Hate and Ego Trip sound no different. what so ever. The patterns are different sure, this entire album is in Drop F though. All the songs are killer and sound like Traitors. If anything, Night Terrors crushes this whole EP still.

[@jamaica4lifes]

No, they definitely sound a lot different.. These 2 are more atmospheric, heavier, more traitors... But that's my opinion. You can have yours and I can have mine.

[@Lunchladyxdoris]

I am no longer empathetic after this release. Fuck me dead.

[@violentstimuli4038]

Can't wait for this album and merch

[@michaeleilyuk9742]

this is soooooo raw.

[@hatecvlt7119]

if you speed it up the breakdowns are faster its fucking dope

[@LittleAngryCarrots]

No shit, it’s fucking dope. It’s like a whole different animal, that ending breakdown was dark asf

[@slambumpkinduncan1078]

oh boy lets gooooo

[@CoreCommunity]

Holy shit

[@killpop_]

So Traitors, Fit for a king and Mafia 3 releases on the same day? Holy

[@collinc9835]

sick as hell can not wait for this album.

[@ryanhorsham1752]

the beginning is so groovy

[@x0scimy0x]

Yeah. The whole song is good, but I wish it would've stayed like the intro a little longer.

[@matt_klein]

Good shit boys. Good shit.

[@unnamed4418]

That grandmaster flash reference just now hit me.

[@Core_Crusaders]

[@metalafi]

[@thebeefcheef]

lyrics??

[@canalrandom1016]

first

[@trapG0LD710]

um I'm sorry but did anyone notice the grandmaster flash rip off? " don't push me cause I'm close to the edge, I'm trying not to loose my head. Sometimes sometimes it makes me wonder how I keep from going under " Are you fucking kidding me? Also what's with all the fucking mid-range screams, please go back to hate campaign and night terrors vibe. I love traitors and will support the band always but some of these new songs are poop

[@x0scimy0x]

It's not a rip off, it's called a homage.

[@AtaraxiaPNW]

1:55 is the stupidest shit i've ever heard, omfg

[@jacoblastname5966]

HECK

[@kadincool19]

I told you never to show your face around here again
