You're not thirsty

Walking in the desert all alone

You're not searching

Lost in isolation from your soul

When the bullets you bite

From 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 de ployed



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 till 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
