Nonpoint - Looking Away lyrics
[Nonpoint - Looking Away lyrics]
I try, and I try, and I try to look away
It doesn't mean that it don't 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 with lies they sing
It's right in front of me
I try, and I try, and I try to look away
The fighting inside is the reason that I stay
I try, and I try, and I try to look away
It doesn't mean that it don't 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, with lies they sing
It's right in front of me
I try, and I try, and I try to look away
The fighting inside is the reason that I stay
I try, and I try, and I try to look away
It doesn't mean that it don't happen anyway
Program your mind i don't wanna be
I don't wanna be among the sheep
I don't wanna follow them asleep
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 know the things they know
If it's gonna make me into an animal
I try, and I try, and I try to look away
The fighting inside is the reason that I stay
I try, and I try, and I try to look away
It doesn't mean that it don't happen anyway
I try, and I try, and I try to look away
The fighting inside is the reason that I stay
I try, and I try, and I try to look away
It doesn't mean that it don't happen anyway
I try, and I try, and I try… (look away)
I give, and I gave up the fight (they create)
I live and I live I'm alive… (but I bleed)
I'm tired of seeing it
So I have to look away
It doesn't mean that it don't 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 with lies they sing
It's right in front of me
I try, and I try, and I try to look away
The fighting inside is the reason that I stay
I try, and I try, and I try to look away
It doesn't mean that it don't 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, with lies they sing
It's right in front of me
I try, and I try, and I try to look away
The fighting inside is the reason that I stay
I try, and I try, and I try to look away
It doesn't mean that it don't happen anyway
Program your mind i don't wanna be
I don't wanna be among the sheep
I don't wanna follow them asleep
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 know the things they know
If it's gonna make me into an animal
I try, and I try, and I try to look away
The fighting inside is the reason that I stay
I try, and I try, and I try to look away
It doesn't mean that it don't happen anyway
I try, and I try, and I try to look away
The fighting inside is the reason that I stay
I try, and I try, and I try to look away
It doesn't mean that it don't happen anyway
I try, and I try, and I try… (look away)
I give, and I gave up the fight (they create)
I live and I live I'm alive… (but I bleed)
I'm tired of seeing it
So I have to look away
