Lyrics Listen - Collective Soul

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

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

Hey, why can't you listen?
Hey, why can't you hear?
Hey, why can't you listen?
As love screams everywhere

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

When your prophecies fail
When your thoughts become weak
And silence creates necessity
And you're clothing yourself
In the shields of despair
Your courage now impaired

Hey, why can't you listen?
Hey, why can't you hear?
Hey, 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
You're fighting 'til the bitter end
If only your heart could open
Up and listen

Hey, why can't you listen?
Hey, why can't you hear?
Hey, why can't you listen?
As love screams everywhere

Hey, why can't you listen?
Hey, why can't you hear?
Hey, why can't you listen?
As love screams everywhere
