Listening
I just wanted to show you
I really needed you to know
The darkness of my heavy hands
With the way these whims flow
And there's no glass to cut
The snake crawling in our grass
There's nothing radical, alas
About the disaster you hold
Ever so dearly in your grasp
I wanted you to know
I needed to bloom here
To find myself
Caressing your inner ear
I wanted to fight all night
Until out inevitable love shone clear and bright
Like all of life's lessons
A raging nest of murder hornets
All of our regressions
Kissed us full on the lips
But we could barely feel it
I just wanted to show you
I really needed you to know
There's no great white man
In the sky coming to save us
From this storm of TV snow
But we were all without blame
As we all forgot each others' names
No one had taught us to sing
So we beseeched the birds to tell us everything
All the same I loved you
Though you were
You were not
Listening
I really needed you to know
The darkness of my heavy hands
With the way these whims flow
And there's no glass to cut
The snake crawling in our grass
There's nothing radical, alas
About the disaster you hold
Ever so dearly in your grasp
I wanted you to know
I needed to bloom here
To find myself
Caressing your inner ear
I wanted to fight all night
Until out inevitable love shone clear and bright
Like all of life's lessons
A raging nest of murder hornets
All of our regressions
Kissed us full on the lips
But we could barely feel it
I just wanted to show you
I really needed you to know
There's no great white man
In the sky coming to save us
From this storm of TV snow
But we were all without blame
As we all forgot each others' names
No one had taught us to sing
So we beseeched the birds to tell us everything
All the same I loved you
Though you were
You were not
Listening
