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 become weak Silence creates necessity You're clothing yourself In the shields of despair Your courage now impaired 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
