Are You Listening

Our conversation piece for the empty handed
My life has not worked out the way I planned
Problems have all ended
The answers all are stranded
And the crumbling fortune cookie called my life

I need some space
With someone I can hold
Anyone at all
And lock ourselves inside

Things will never change
'Cause no on has
Meaning for words for long to fizz
Better be brave
'Cause no one cares
Are you listening, listening

Drunk and standing still as another year ends
Green to red to brown to white and brown to green again
Epidemics have demanded
All solutions be abandoned
And Hollywood's fighting for the rights
To make the film
And media will all inflate
And critics are sure to hate
And I'm outside waiting in line

Things will never change
'Cause no one has
Meaning for words for long to fizz
Better be brave
'Cause no one cares
Are you listening, listening

The sun surrounds
Let's do the drill

I need some space
Where I can shed this skin
And turn my outsides in
And lock myself inside

Things will never change
'Cause no one has
Meaning for words for long to fizz
Better be brave
'Cause no one cares
Are you listening, listening

Are you there
Are you there
Are you there
Are you there
Are you listening, listening
