You Don't Need To Listen

about

‘You Don’t Need to Listen’ celebrates having a choice. The reality is the majority of us have choices around the information we consume. Whether it’s a friend, relative or even the government, quite often people want to tell you how to live your life.

lyrics

Verse 01

Maybe you’ve heard it,
are you feeling scared and oh so nervous?
It’s playing on a loop, you wanna cut the circuit.
It’s doing you no service.
You know your worth it!
To feel the sun, here's to feeling young!
Just wanna be someone that's being nurtured
and when your digging deep
you know that you can leave it there
so it won’t reach the surface
never let it bleach the colour that you see
believe in its purpose.
Living in a sea
of other peoples dreams and curses
just know when you close your eyes
you’re never worthless.

Chorus
You don’t need to listen to the pieces of the story
you don’t want to, if it’s not you. x2


Verse 02
You open up my door,
say you’ll open up my mind.
Why you be so kind.
To take away my piece of mind
tell me what to do as if I haven’t got a clue.
I see it in your eyes and lips as they move.
Your only human.
Following the tracks never stopping to relax
it’s all confusing.
A part of the pact that's apart of the act
to feel apart of the choosing.
Leave me alone.
Far up the back,
I’m knowing that I’m never losing.
I don’t think about it.
When you come with your rain
remember that we’re not the same.
I don’t get so clouded.

Chorus
You don’t need to listen to the pieces of the story
you don’t want to, if it’s not you. X2

People out there shouting
with their hope and with their doubting
you can leave it there.
Don’t need to be aware.
