Listen

I've not felt this air before
It's so alive and comforting
And I can't swim but I can learn
Go deep inside her suffering

Truth be told I hear the sound
A symphony of laughter
Past the film that coats our skin
We're all naked and gasping

What's happening to this place we all adore
It's sharpening into things we can't ignore
Into things we can't ignore
Into things we can't

And lately I have felt this way
About everything around me
But magic has its way with me
This state I'm in is changing
As the palm trees wave and sway in sync
Inviting us to listen
And I close my eyes and listen in
To what it is they're saying

Whats happening to this place we all adore
It's sharpening into things we cant ignore
Into things we can't ignore
Into things we can't ...

Listen I found it threw it down and I burned it
Money don't mean shit no more
And I know the very basics of what it takes on a regular basis
To stay alive and win when you're at war

So go inside go deep inside
Feel all the hurt inside you
Tear it up, and come out strong
We're standing here beside you

'Cause the time will come like a beating drum
Where your life will flash before you
And I hope you did what you came to do
'Cause your choices will affect you

Whats happening to this place we all adore
It's sharpening into things we cant ignore
Into things we can't ignore
Into things we can't ...

Listen I found it through it down and I burned it
Money don't mean shit no more
And I know the very basics of what it takes on a regular basis
To stay alive and win when you're at war
