"Listen" lyrics - COLLECTIVE SOUL

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

From the bullets you bite,
To the pain you request,
You're finding them harder to digest
When the answers you seek,
Are the ones you destroy,
Your anger's well deployed

Why can't you listen? - Why can't you hear?
Why can't you listen,
As love screams everywhere?

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

When your prophecies fail,
When your thoughts become weak,
Silence creates necessity
When you're clothing yourself,
With the shields of despair,
Your courage now impaired

Why can't you listen? - Why can't you hear?
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,
Fighting 'til the bitter end,
If only your heart could open up and listen

Why can't you listen? - Why can't you hear?
Why can't you listen,
As love screams everywhere?

Why can't you listen? - Why can't you hear?
Why can't you listen,
As love screams everywhere?
