Collective Soul
Listen
[Verse 1]
Hey, you're now thirsty
Walking in the desert all alone
Hey, you're now searching
Lost in isolation from your soul

[Pre-Chorus]
From 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 deployed

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

[Verse 2]
Hey, you now hunger
Feeding your mind with selfishness
Hey you now wander
Aimlessly around your consciousness
[Pre-Chorus]
When your prophecies fail
When your thoughts become weak
Silence creates necessity
And you're clothing yourself
With the shields of despair
Your courage now impaired

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

[Bridge]
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

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
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
