Look Away

On that afternoon the sun was in the sky
 It made little sparkling diamonds in the snow
 I had a heavy fist of fear that gripped my stomach
 And it wouldn't let me go
 I could see the lady's breath in little clouds in the air
 She lead me up the walk and rang the bell
 That was the day the fist of fear became an animal
 And broke out of it's shell
 I know, you can not fool me
 Nobody wants me
 And I don't want you anyhow
 I know, you'll never see me
 Nobody sees me
 Look away.
 I am a stranger in a house that's full of strangers
 I am afraid to turn the lights off in the night
 And they say "child don't you worry"
 But if you had known what I have known
 Then you would worry
 Nothing they give me ever tastes right
 And their house just doesn't smell like home to me
 And I know that where I came from didn't feel good
 But then nothing feels good
 Maybe it is me
 I
 I am an animal, my name is fear
 My teeth are anger, my eyes severe
 I am power, I will destroy
 So do not look at me like I am just a little boy
 And the fire that burns in me will devour me until I fade away
 So look away
 There was a time in summer I went fishing at the creek
 My grandma showed me how to cast a line
 We sat together on the bank and let our bare feet dangle
 Everything was fine
 And now they want to take me out to see the game
 They buy me little presents all the time
 They say next summer we'll go fishing, we'll have fun
 But all I want to do is cry
 I know, you can not fool me
 Nobody wants me
 And I don't want you anyhow
 I know, you'll never see me
 Nobody sees me
 Look away.
 I know, you can not fool me
 Nobody wants me
 And I don't want you anyhow
 I know, you'll never see me
 Nobody sees me
 Look away.
 I know, you can not fool me
 Nobody wants me
 And I don't want you anyhow
 I know, you'll never see me
 Nobody sees me
 Look away.
 I know, you can not fool me
 Nobody wants me
 And I don't want you anyhow
 I know, you'll never see me
 Nobody sees me
 Look away.
