Are You Listening?

(album: Underline - 2014)

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!
