The Dear Hunter - Look Away lyrics

The need to quantitate has put center stage
Regret, remorse, regard
Crazed and calm with a sinners psalm
Memories lose their art
So I circle thoughts with centered eyes
That stare without ever seeing
But, it's getting dim and just before
Any reasons can be revealed

I fall and I don't want to get up
Just leave me down here
Down where the truth won't go
No, I don't want to give up
Just dust me off and I swear you'd never know
Oh, no look away, shade your eyes
Don't stop

Then there's the simple fact that
I was born this way
In such a taut assimilation of mistakes
Don't you misjudge what I'm capable of
If I'm heir to a broken will

I'll fall and I won't want to get up
Just leave me down here
Down where the truth won't go
No, I don't want to give up
Just dust me off and I swear you'd never know
Look away, shade your eyes don't stop

Leave the pain behind
Casting fear to the side
For just a moment, so things can align
And if I fall, sometimes that's just fine
As long as I get up, then things are alright

Oh, no
Don't look away, don't shade your eyes
Don't stop
