Why Can't You Listen

Taking the day in all sorts of stride Making a point to not coincide With anyone who has a thought against me Wishing away the lost soul inside Trying to find a safe steroid Why can't you listen to me Feeling the pain in all sorts of eyes Trying to steer myself clear of lies Looking away from darkness all around me No solace was ever once guaranteed No solace was ever not guaranteed Why can't you listen to me All that you think you see All that you thought you know All that you think you know You don't understand the words Don't understand the words Ending the day in all sorts of ways Stopping to watch my city's parade With everyone who once marched over me Damned if I don't feel like the drum today Leading the charge while people follow me Why can't you listen to me
