Looking Away Songtext

von Nonpoint

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
