Listen

Hey, you're now thirsty
Walking in the desert all alone
Hey, you're now searching
Lost in isolation from your soul

The bullets you bite
From the pain you request
You're finding harder to digest

And the answers you seek
Are the ones you destroy
Your anger's well deployed

Hey, why can't you listen
Hey, why can't you hear
Hey, why can't you listen
As love screams everywhere

Hey, you now hunger
Feeding your mind with selfishness
Hey, you now wander
Aimlessly around your consciousness

Your prophecies fail
And your thoughts become weak
Silence creates necessity

You're clothing yourself
In the shields of despair
Your courage now impaired

Hey, why can't you listen
Hey, why can't you hear
Hey, why can't you listen
As love screams everywhere

You crucify all honesty
No signs you see do you believe
And all your words just twist and turn

Reviving just to crash and burn
You're fighting till the bitter end
If only your heart could open up
And listen

Hey, why can't you listen
Hey, why can't you hear
Hey, why can't you listen
As love screams everywhere

Hey, why can't you listen
Hey, why can't you hear
Hey, why can't you listen
As love screams everywhere
