Look Away

Since I’ve been around this house
There’s nothing left
Not a room that won’t feel empty
As we refuse to break a smile
Is this what you bargained for
Or was it something more?

There was a time when I’d get away
To a place where a felt less tired
A point where I won’t let go

We’ve got all this life to run
And now we’re motionless
As we fall into the traps
Of slowly settling up
Is this real? Is this real?
And can we really get out of this?

I’ve got nothing left to give
I’m simply running out of hope
No longer gripped tight to the groove I had
But what else can we do?
And who is keeping score?

There was a time when I’d walk away
I’d keep a night bag by the door
And make a one way mission home

We’ve got all this life to run
And now we’re motionless
As we fall into the traps
Of slowly settling up
Is this real? Is this real?
And can we really get out of this?

But now I’m not so sure
Have we been here before?
