What You Want to Hear
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Can't hold a conversation for more than
Half a second, all together I stop listening
My friends are all depressed and losing interest in living
You're chasing after something
But nothing is enough when you don't know what it is that you need
The more you advertise it
The less I want to buy what you're selling me
The more you think, the less you'll know
Can't tell you what you want to hear anymore
I need some medication or maybe a vacation, some island getaway
I'm not doing so well, and I ain't getting the help here anyway
You hold tight to your scripture like it's got all the
Answers, you're thoughts and prayers are useless to me
I'm living check to check and barely
Pay my rent, the true American dream
The more you think, the less you'll know
Can't tell you what you want to hear anymore
The more you think, the less you'll know
Can't tell you what you want to hear anymore
The more you think, the less you'll know
Can't tell you what you want to hear anymore
