Look Away

I think sometimes I'd been better off being born blind Then I wouldn't have these dark images run through my mind Lost in greed and anger, and violence within reach Fold oakwood seem like sunrise On a near-beath and bridge And the things I see that others see While looking at their phone Disturbing lost childhood dreams and being all alone The joy of laughter, innocence, lighthearted interaction Crushed beneath the force of the addict satisfaction Look away, look away, I challenge you to try Look the other way, look somebody in the eye And while you're at it, please consider taking me along I tried to look away But the pull was much too strong And words had better Never should have been spoken at all A reading in the toilet Of every school and nursery wall Look away, look away, I challenge you to try Look the other way, look somebody in the eye And while you're at it, please consider taking me along I tried to look away But the pull was much too strong
