Looking Away Nonpoint

[Intro]
I try, and I try, and I try to look away
It doesn't mean that it don't happen anyway

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
They try to hide our suffering
Controlling lies with lies they sing
It's right in front of me

[Chorus 1]
I try, and I try, and I try to look away
The fighting inside is the reason that I stay
I try, and I try, and I try to look away
It doesn't mean that it don't happen anyway

[Verse 2]
The people that live in the streets
The children struggling just to eat
Our families sent overseas
And claiming it's "necessary," oh!
