trying to listen

by Antwan Fields - Aries

im too tired, why am i listening
to you just over and over-bitching
why do i try to plant the trees over
you can just talk until hell freezes over
no respect, no one to talk to
no one cares, not even you
your lips move, but there's no sound
the many practices upon which you frowned
but no one wants to hear
your many theories and prejudiced fear
laugh now, but watch your back
your brains may be large, but heart you lack
try to hold on, to this man
try to hold on, to this person who will take your hand 
try to hold on, to this person who is your biggest fan
try to hold on.
before i go, i want you to know
i wish that our happiness would flow
and id go, anywhere 
for you id already be there
and i think, that all the others
cannot hold you like another
a little bit closer to my best friend
then i was to you at the end
try to hold on, to the waters that will glisten
try to hold on, to each other from the hissin'
try to hold on, to each other, trying to listen 
try to hold on.
