Looking Away

Try and I try and I try to look away

It doesn't mean that it'll happen anyway

I watch as they all look away

They don't have the stomach for this

The image that's burned in my brain

Won't let me ignore my good conscience

They try to hide our suffering

Controlling lies, the lies they sing

It's right in front of me

Try and I try and I try to look away

The fighting inside is the reason that I stay

Try and I try and I try to look away

It doesn't mean that it'll happen anyway

The people that live in the streets

The children struggling just to eat

Our families sent overseas

And claiming it's necessary, oh!

They try to hide our suffering

Controlling lies, the lies they sing

It's right in front of me

Try and I try and I try to look away

The fighting inside is the reason that I stay

Try and I try and I try to look away

It doesn't mean that it'll happen anyway

Program your mind

I don't wanna be

I don't wanna be among the sheep

I don't wanna follow in my sleep

I don't wanna be left for dead in the street

I don't wanna throw

I don't wanna throw away my soul

I don't wanna do the things they know

And it's gonna make me into an animal

Try and I try and I try to look away

The fighting inside is the reason that I stay

Try and I try and I try to look away

It doesn't mean that it'll happen anyway

Try and I try and I try

Look away

I give but I gave up the fight

I create

I live and I live of a lie

I'm tired of saying it so I have to look away
