Heart Still Beats

The thought it comes to my mind, to somehow intervene
But it could bring me trouble, and what can I do anyway?
It's hard to be effective when it happens so often
To see a life unraveling, through drawn venetian blinds
I'm sickened by compassion, I'm stifled by my limitations
Anesthetic apathy, come take the pain away 

Oh God, we need You here. 
We're sinking fast and we don't care
The evidence is all around me, on both sides of my door.
Our hearts beat.
