This was a labor. First, I've had the first version of these lyrics a long time, but wasn't happy with it. I started re-working them probably 9-10 months ago, periodically coming back to it, trying and trying to get it to where I wanted. I finally got the chorus right about a week ago. The rest came together after that. Second, this was the most intricate mixing I've done. I really wanted to push little melodic details all throughout. I think I got it there. I sincerely hope you enjoy! Cheers! -MX © 2026 MX. All Rights Reserved. ================= [Intro] [Verse 1] Is this a stronghold? Am I convinced that I am fine? Is this a prison cell, clock ticking Where I am doing time? Quiet whispers bouncing off the heavens Echoes all that's left While I'm whistling past the graveyard Right here in my chest [Pre-Chorus] I thought it was you... (Maybe you didn't hear?) I thought it was you... (That didn't hear) Mistook it was you... [Chorus] If you're listening If you're listening (you're everywhere) If you're listening If you're listening (know everything) If you're listening! You are everywhere You know everything And you know it's me Who wasn't listening... [Verse 2] My winding thoughts are not your thoughts My ways these days have not been your ways You're seated far above the heavens I've been down here playing games Who? Can make these dry bones live? You restore heal and mend I confess (If you are listening) [Pre-Chorus] I thought it was you... (Maybe you didn't hear?) I thought it was you... (That didn't hear) Mistook it was you... [Chorus] If you're listening If you're listening (you're everywhere) If you're listening If you're listening (know everything) If you're listening! You are everywhere You know everything And you know it's me Who wasn't listening... [**MONSTER** Interlude] [Bridge] What’s there on the inside That I feel inside of me The conflict wide as an ocean Storm out over the deep Oh, this stubborn body of death So determined to be an outline of chalk Turn my spirit, my heart towards you and Move my steps where it is you want me to walk [Final Chorus] If you're listening If you're listening (you're everywhere) If you're listening If you're listening (know everything) If you're listening! You are everywhere You know everything And you know it's me Who wasn't listening... [Outro] You are everywhere You know everything Your Mercy never failed Though I wasn't listening Love I never earned Grace I never deserved Show me Move me If you're listening [End]
