Are You Listening?

All aboard this sinking ship

No business here it's just relationships

Derived

Contrived

Another Mind Homogenised!

Should this mean more to me?

Just join the tribe and feel accepted

But cool don't come for free

That much was expected, forever discontented

The rope that pulled me from the pit

Now hangs around my neck

Is this the clue you wanted?

Too cryptic for the rest

Play the part of the victim if it puts your mind at ease

Put all the blame on me

Close your eyes

And listen please!

So what you feel, is it nostalgia or love?

Tell me now, are you really listening?

When everybody tells you to stop,

And that you’re never good enough

Tell me now, are you really listening?

Whoa oh oh

Whoa oh oh

Are you listening? Are you listening?

Whoa oh oh

Whoa oh oh

Reach out for help, and she lets you down

So gild your pockets, we'll watch you drown

A burnt taste

A real waste

A sticky stain we'll soon erase

Cause this means more to me

And we'll still look to the lights in the sky

It's hard when all I see

Another ceiling I don't recognize

With no concern, and deathless turn

Now we take control

So what you feel, is it nostalgia or love?

Tell me now, are you really listening?

When everybody tells you to stop,

And that you’re never good enough

Tell me now, are you really listening?

Whoa oh oh

Whoa oh oh

Are you listening? Are you listening?

Whoa oh oh

Whoa oh oh

As we pass by tonight

We fade into hindsight

The time slips off our lives

Can this be realized?

So what you feel, is it nostalgia or love?

Tell me now, are you really listening?

When everybody tells you to stop,

And that you’re never good enough

Tell me now, are you really listening?

Are you listening?

Whoa oh oh

Whoa oh oh

Are you listening? Are you listening?

Whoa oh oh

Whoa oh oh

Are you listening? Are you listening!
