Barely Listening Songtext
von Pilate

I lie awake on this phone call
She's dreamin' of better days
Flowers lie on the counter
Remind her of better days

She sends a prayer up to Jesus
And she asks him for his strength
And the night will go on bleedin'
Was it faith that paid the rent?

And I know you? re barely listening
I know you? re barely listening
I know you? re barely listening
Now I know you? re

I know you? re barely listening
I know you? re barely listening
I know you? re barely listening
Now I know you? re


Standin' here in a doorway
With a candle and a gun
The light tears through open windows
For now the day has won

And I know you? re barely listening
I know you? re barely listening
I know you? re barely listening
Now I know you? re

I know you? re barely listening
I know you? re barely listening
I know you? re barely listening
Now I know you? re

Like a child on her way here
You just smile and run the other way
And faith won? t find you a reason
It just smiles and runs the other way

And it just smiles
It just smiles and runs the other way
It just smiles
It just smiles and then runs the other way

It? s not worth waiting
It? s not worth waiting


And I know you? re barely listening
I know you? re barely listening
I know you? re barely listening
Now I know you? re

I know you? re barely listening
I know you? re barely listening
I know you? re barely listening

And you can't shape love with a hammer
And you can't shape love with a will
What horror lies in knowing
There's no faith that chaos can't kill
