THE TIME TO LISTEN


Frowning underneath the surface
This cover I so always use
Caught between distrust and fear
Can anybody hear

I don't think they're listening
To anything I have to say
If no one wants to listen
I don't really care anyway

Throw away my disillusion
That things should come so easy
Maybe I'll go home

Rocking slowly back and forth
On the edge of destiny
The rope that burns me now
Can never set me free
Close to falling
Already breaking
Distanced from my life
Further down the path that I can't trust
I have no choice but am afraid

The lines are cut apart
The fault line disturbed too many times
I think it's tearing out of control
This dream to own it all
Now listen to me fall

Now is no time to listen
You didn't hear in time
As I scream away my torture
The years of problems now released
In one sheer fatal scream

Now that you are listening
There's nothing you can do
You'll always be the same
The calls of my yearning, crying soul
Are dying with this body
And everything I needed help with
Is buried with me
It's all enclosed within my grave
With me
