Listen - Collective Soul

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 be 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
