[Verse 1: Cedric Bixler]
Mother nature never smelled so good
Can I taste the flower that you [carry?]
Brilliant minds with pretty faces never cry
Pedestal's crumbling down, now you're on the ground
Selfless days are way too many
Lay back, spread your legs, and don't make a sound
[Chorus] (x2)
Cause no one's listening
[Verse 2]
Hiding bruises, he brings you roses
Says, "I'm sorry," now it's okay
No hard feelings, no deep meanings
You were once special, but just for a day
Hook and baits you, breaks you in two
Now no one is saying you'll be all right
Promises when he says, "I love you"
Face first to the floor, now you just don't know
[Chorus 2]
Speak up now, yeah, speak up now
Speak up cause no one's listening (x3)
Speak up now, yeah (x2)
Speak up cause no one's listening (x3)
[Bridge: Cedric Bixler (feat. Omar Rodriguez-Lopez)]
All those lonely nights you stayed up and cried
Sick to your stomach with bu*terflies
He says, "Come and hold me close
You never really seem to smile when I touch you"
(Saccharine sweet flavored drinks taste so old
This burning in your mind makes you feel so cold
[?]
Leave it all behind, but just can't let go) (x4)
[Verse 3]
No recollection of affection
We're only safe from harm when nothing
Matters, only twenty years have pa**ed
And you're already feeling old
Bell jar is ringing, no one understands the feeling of
Kicking a dead cow and hoping it will come alive
When everything is wrong, you just say
"I'm doing fine"
[Outro] (x5)
She's reaching for something right
