Listen Lyrics

Looking at the book but I can't find the words

Looking at the words but it's all been heard

Are we listening

Looking at the fire as it runs dark

Looking for a fire but I need a spark

Who do we listen to?

Blank faces on the video screen

I don't believe them at all

Shady lies and profits all the time

I see the car but can't avoid the crash

A chosen path that can't ever last

Are they listening?

I'm tired of not being seen

What are we angry for?

A shake of hands instead of demands

I'm just a whisper

In my own home

Can't break the distance

Through this broken tone

I close my eyes but I can still see

The loving tones so vividly
