From the recording Shed This Skin
Lyrics
You take this all for granted
No you don’t have a clue
You sit there with your stupid grin
Is that all that you can do
You take this love for granted
And I’m starting to believe
There’s not much left to hold me here
I think it’s time to leave when I
Stare out the window
Turn on the news
Act like my paradise is nothing you can use
Turn on the radio and
Tune you out
I may be whispering but you should hear me shout
Listen
Listen to me
You don’t listen
Listen to me
You never pay attention
When I’m screaming to be heard
Do I have to spell it out for you
Do you need to see the words
How long can we sit here
In completely separate rooms
With your attention somewhere else
Do you hear me call the tune when I
Stare out the window
Turn on the news
Act like my paradise is nothing you can use
Turn on the radio and
Tune you out
I may be whispering but you should hear me shout
Listen
Listen to me
You don’t listen
Listen to me
Dirty windows, empty visions
Do you see the bind that I’m in
Cross the border to the threshold
Heavy with the tears and then there’s
You that sits apart in silence
Never quite aware and science
Can’t explain to me why you look
Somewhere else when I
Stare out the window
Turn on the news
Act like my paradise is nothing you can use
Turn on the radio and
Tune you out
I may be whispering but you should hear me shout
Listen
Listen to me
You don’t listen
Listen to me
