Not Listening*

[Verse 1]
There's a mountain
in my head.
I can't get over
what I thought you said.
It's harder to walk by while you're sleeping
with the sound of the floor below me creaking.

[Chorus]
If the circle bends and shame begins again,
I'm not listening.
If the voices call from places I have been,
I'm not listening.
It the hope is lost and hate begins to win,
I'm not listening.
If the voices call from places I have been,
I'm not listening.

[Verse 2]
There's an ocean
in this room
and I'm the anchor
tied to you.
It's harder to walk by while you're sleeping
with the sound of the floor below me creaking.

[Chorus]
If the circle bends and shame begins again,
I'm not listening.
If the voices call from places I have been,
I'm not listening.
If the hope is lost and hate begins to win,
I'm not listening.
If the voices call from places I have been,
I'm not listening.

[Bridge]
Who am I to blame?
Who am I to blame?
Who am I to say?
Who am I to blame?

[Chorus}
If the circle bends and shame begins again,
I'm not listening.
If the voices call from places I have been,
I'm not listening.
If the hope is lost and hate begins to win,
I'm not listening.
If the voices call from places I have been,
I'm not listening.

[Chorus]
If the circle bends and shame begins again,
I'm not listening.
If the voices call from places I have been,
I'm not listening.
If the hope is lost and hate begins to win,
I'm not listening.
If the voices call from places I have been,
I'm not listening.

I'm not listening.
I'm not listening.
