I Never Listen When You Speak

from Pruning In The Dark by Evert Snyman & The Aviary

/

lyrics

I'll just turn my back
I've nothing left to give
I keep my ego in tact
Cause it fills my will to live

I've spent all my attention
Overwhelmed by the tension

The tightrope I've been walking
While everyone else is gawking
Is snapping under me

And if my knees get weak
I'll just stand on my head
I never listen when you speak
I just want the end the thread

I've spent all my patience
Absorbing frustration

The trash I've been talking
The good I've been blocking
Is flowing into to sea

The tightrope I've been walking
While everyone else is gawking
Is snapping under me
