Turning Away Lyrics


For too long our hearts

Have yearned for silent oceans

You and I we share the same blinded lives

Story of a silent man's devotion

Forced to believe in disreputable lies

Why should we care what's beyond

When we're safe at last

This ancient contious gap

A self contious lack

Feeds our fear and again

We are turning away

From the spiral of fear

Not one reflection on the screen

That hasn't yet been seen

We are turning away

I'm not afraid to say

The more we turn we stay

Day by day this tidal wave draws its way

Breaks the threshold of our mind

Our so-called knowledge left behind

Indifference's the key to a bleached conformity

So credulous and clear through the mirror

We stare

Why should we help those in need

We are safe at last

This ancient contious gap

A self contious lack

Feeds our fear and again

We are turning away

From the spiral of fear

Not one reflection on the screen

That hasn't yet been seen

We are turning away

I'm not afraid to say

The more we turn we stay obsolete

And insecure
