Listen From The Start

Here's one of my last intentions

Could be final if it lasts

No more skipping to the ending

I'll shirk the burden to be fast

Now no one wants cheap imitations

But everyone is out of time

A wall of misinterpretations

Is looking down on us somehow

Don't you come in jumping halfway into my story

Never skip a part

Listen from the start

And don't you come in jumping halfway into my story

Look up, you're too far

Listen from the start

Is this the way that we intended?

It looks to me to be too vile

So close to false pretension

And trickery hidden in plain sight

We're sticking to foregone conclusions

To commentary of low degree

Opinions based on some illusions

Convincing based on mockery

Don't you come in jumping halfway into my story

Never skip a part

Listen from the start

And don't you come in jumping halfway into my story

Look up, you're too far

Listen from the start

But if we don't succeed

We'll land back on our feet

The challenge for us now

Is learning how to deal

With simplified debates

And sophisticated fakes

It's time for new ideas

Of what it all could be
