“Listen”

Everything I hold dearly is washed away,
Edges are dull, lines are grey.

Nothing is ever as it seems.
Echoes can be heard of their dying screams.

No one ever listens when people talk,
But if you beat them, they will gawk.

When ignorance rains, life is lost,
Doesn't matter what it costs.

I fucking hate when you don't hear
Are my words not sincere?

Fuck you, I don't care any more!
People always so busy with their petty chores

Not enough time to get through to you.
Your thoughts, you words, so subdued

Fine, I give up, I guess you win,
You'll NEVER be forgiven for your sins

Bombs, they will explode in the air
Everywhere you look feelings of despair.

That's the way you wanted it, so just deal.
Now your dead body lies alone on the cold, cold steel.
Nothing is left for you to feel . . .
Why won’t you LISTEN!?!?!
