Straightening out the shelves (of my mind)

Yesterday I realized just how I've changed
Okay, wait a minute. let me explain
I was walking down the street when I heard a loud crash
A man lay on the road, flatter than flat
Was he dead or alive? I didn't care to know so,
I kept walking and no emotion did I show

I think it's time to straighten out the shelves of my mind

Then I got to thinking about how numb I've become
Am I really that unfeeling? am I really that dumb?
To not help another when they're in desperate need of it
How selfish can I be? how much worse can I get?
But then, there are times in which we're not
supposed to care
Think only of yourself and ignore what's
happening over there.
