You're not even living

Keep your mind focused on the smoke

You will see the silhouette of what you broke

You close your eyes during the day

And open them only at night

It's called selective vision

It's called seeing in black and white



Won't you stop seeing

And start looking

Won't you stop hearing

And start listening



Make sure they know your name

When you decide to throw your body back into the flame

You will walk around town

Loving every stranger you see

And ignore everyone that matters

Everyone like, everyone like me



Won't you stop seeing

And start looking

Won't you stop hearing

And start listening



'Cause you are moving too slow

and the world moves so fast

you make less then you owe

when you are working on the past

And love isn't a gift

if you are throwing it away

you will never be lift,ed

if you only worry about how much you weigh



So won't you stop seeing

And start looking

Won't you stop hearing

And start listening

Cause if you don't

Then you're not even living
