Lyrics Were You Listening - Earthquake Lights

Were You Listening

Have my ears
Given up?
Have they been
Through enough?
Won’t you give it a rest?
It’s too loud
You’re so sure of it
But if only you knew
Every subtlety
You’re oblivious to
Don’t you understand
How much more you could be
I was wondering
Did you notice?
Were you listening?
Can’t you hear?
Have my eyes
Got it right?
Did you sail out of sight?
If you ever come back
It’s too soon
You’re so sure of it
But I wish you could see
All the damage that
You’ve been doing to me
Tell the rest of us
What you’re doing this for
I was wondering
Did you notice?
Were you listening?
Can’t you hear?
My ears
Have had enough
Sound has
Filled them up
My eyes
Have seen enough
Better
Keep them shut
