Won't You Listen

Have we been blinded by the sights you sought to see?

Or maybe buried underneath a vision

The person you thought you could make us be

The foresight of our life, caught between a rock and a hard place

It leaves a bitter taste of tongue tied words you spoke in vain

We hear nothing, nothing but promises

Saw you never face it, but you could never shake it

You left the only thing that ever mattered at all

Alone you'll never make it, forever forced to fake it

You left the only thing that ever mattered at all

Are you happy? Do you hear me?

Did you feel our hearts breaking slowly?

Maybe all you care for is all you see,

Shut our hope in a bottle and cast to sea

It's perceptions of what could have been,

What might have been, what should have been

Through these veins and out the pen

Stain the canvas every night

I'd be lying if I said I'm fine somewhat

It's hard to breathe when it's tight sealed shut

Saw you never face it, but you could never shake it

You left the only thing that ever mattered at all

Alone you'll never make it, forever forced to fake it

You left the only thing that ever mattered at all

The foresight of our life, caught between a rock and a hard place

It leaves a bitter taste of sorry slipping through your teeth

That I know you know that,

I'd be lying if I said I'm fine somewhat

I'm breaking free,

Today you'll see that your words weren't enough

Saw you never face it But you could never shake it

You left the only thing that ever mattered at all

Alone you'll never make it Forever forced to fake it

You left the only thing that ever mattered at all
