| i look around at all my friends
|
| and what their hearts are wearing
|
| rosaries of anti-joy
|
| i look around at where the rainbows end
|
| inside their jaded eyes
|
| i know there must be more to this crazy life
|
| but there’s comfort in the light
|
| look away from me now when you look my way again
|
| i will not feel the same i will not feel this pain
|
| look away from me now when you look way again
|
| i will not feel this shame i will not feel this rain
|
| on my skin
|
| i look around at all this fear
|
| and hesitation that we feel
|
| orbiting our own private universe
|
| it makes me laugh the way i
|
| recycle each emotion i have
|
| a million times until it passes the test
|
| of proving i’m still blessed
|
| look away from me now when you look my way again
|
| i will not feel the same i will not feel this pain
|
| look away from me now when you look way again
|
| i will not feel this shame i will not feel this weight
|
| of the world upon human shoulders
|
| it’s a long way it’s a long road
|
| it’s a long way to get home…
|
| i look around at all my friends
|
| and how their hearts are breaking
|
| underneath the weight of possibility
|
| and it’s so hard to keep your faith
|
| when all you can see is the
|
| pale blue ocean sky falling down
|
| but there’s wisdom underground
|
| it’s a long way it’s a long road
|
| it’s a long way to get home…
|
| look away from me now when you look my way again
|
| i will not feel the same i will not feel this pain
|
| i will i will i will…
|
| live my heart |
