MESSMAKER - Paying Attention

The wolves inside you
Which do you feed
The shoulder angels
Which one to heed?

If both grow hungry
And both unheard
Can you ignore the heat outside your door
As half your city burns
 
Is this fine? Is this fine?
Are you happy with the way things are
Is this fine? Is this just fine?
Did you give up all together
On the hope things could get better
Are you happy with the way things are
Or are you paying attention

This is dedicated to the fence sitters
The once bitten toe dippers
To the day trippers
The reined in and rage quitters
To the tight-lippers
Side-eyeing tea sippers
Speak your truth but it’s only in a whisper

You see the hungry
And the unheard
And you ignore the heat outside your door
As half your city burns

Is this fine? Is this fine?
Are you happy with the way things are
Is this fine? Is this just fine?
Did you give up all together
On the hope things could get better
Are you happy with the way things are
Or are you paying attention

Are you listening?
Are you paying attention?
Are you paying attention?

Are you listening?
Are you paying attention?
Are you paying attention?

To the fence sitters
The once bitten toe dippers
To the day trippers
The reined in and rage quitters
Are you paying attention?
Are you paying attention?
To the tight-lippers
Side-eyeing tea sippers
To the box-tickers
The turned bitter mold-fitters
Are you paying attention?
Then tell me, is this fine?

Is this fine?
Are you happy with the way things are
Is this fine? Is this just fine?
Did you give up all together
On the hope things could get better
Are you happy with the way things are
Or are you paying attention
