Look Away

Standing looking in the mirror Wondering who it is I see The face seems so familiar But it doesn't look like me Something is changing, something's different A foreign look behind my stare I feel frantic, almost desperate He acts as if he doesn't care A smile cracks his face, a tear comes to my eye His laughter fills the room, words echo in my mind Look away- (Don't look at me) Look away- (You won't like what you see) Look away- (Fear what's inside me) But I can't look away Fell the lock of tension closing As I slowly turn the key I sense joints lock into place Like cement setting in my veins Like an attic stored with memories, the contents are so rarely seen Look away- (Don't look at me) Look away- (You won't like what you see) Look away- (Fear what's inside me) But I can't look away A complex creature, I labor to see through the haze I strive to know myself, but I'm lost within the maze It's painful learning the truth about myself So I always look away Through the passage lies the answers, to the questions inside me So, tomorrow like today, I'll stare again, doing nothing
