Listen (don’t just hear me)
Verse 1:
Nowadays we no longer have time to listen
we are constantly on the move, face facing forward
ears on both sides but they are merely ornaments
to complete the face, the world has deafened us
as people speak we can hear them but are we really listening?
Chorus:
You turn away from me, like my words are some sort of disease
why are you in such a rush to leave, I swear it will only take a second
because what I have to say will paint the world a brighter colour
so listen when I speak don't just hear me
Verse 2:
Well as they say actions speak louder than words but what purpose do words hold
if they remain unused, listen, listen to the beat of my heart as it speaks to yours
Listen to my sad cries for help as I sink to the depths of the earth
maybe not physically but emotionally
Chorus
Verse 3:
Stay here and listen once more to my silence that loudly recurs to me but is deaf to you
I watch them grow cold and shiver, while they sync in with the wind for you
for you will never have time to hear me out
I will stay away from you, from you world
for you don't understand ‘cause you’re so focused on a goal
that's so far away, swimming amongst the stars
while I drown on earth yet no water surrounds me
Chorus till end
