Collective Soul - Listen lyrics

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 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?
