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
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
