We Never Listen To Us

we never listen to us very well
here we come and there we go
i don't know about a warm no
i saw me leaving their eyes long ago
if i had a thermometer of compassion
, would it be still so
if i had a saddle for my passion
, could've i avoided this blow
if i had a silencer for this machine gun of voices
, would've i listened to my canned wisdoms
so unknown is the name
so known is the soul
by time fades the sayer, orphaned words written on the wall
how can you make grace out of your fall
be gentle with your wounds
dam them rebellious tears, all right all right I'll let ooze
don't fail my lips, you promised forever our smile, yeah we'll never lose
what about my foggy brains
they say negativity drains
so let's sweep it clean
let's forget what we've felt or seen
let's be like the moon
no matter how cruel is the night
never turned off it's light
give especially when out of sight
someday we'll sit and smile, it was a good fight
now let's walk like we're going somewhere
i can feel it in the air
