"Listen" lyrics - THE SILENCERS

THE SILENCERS
"Listen"

Are you listening?

Jennifer is crying
Crying in Di Maggios
Accusing him of lying
Lying in his teeth
You're treating me like shit
And you're, you're rubbing my nose in it
You're treating me like I was
A thousand miles away

David uses reason
Reason and psychology
Embarrassed by her treason
Her emotional display
You're treating me to it
And you're, you're wrapping yourself around it
You're treating me like I was
The sole 'cause of your pain

And all I can do is listen
All I can say is listen
All that I do is listen
Listen

Sadie screams into the mask
A scream of pain, a scream of rage
A scream of forty thousand blows
The scream that every mother knows
At last the scream is gone
And prayers are broken on her tongue
The sound of crying brings her
Peace and ecstasy

And all I can do is listen
All I can say is listen
All I can do is listen
Listen

I'll just sit here
With my glass to the wall
Capturing the sound
Your insect voice
Write it down
Write it down
Write it down

And all I can do is listen
All I can say is listen
All that I do is listen
Listen

All I can do is listen
All I can say is listen
All I can do is listen
