Sometimes I wish this music would carry me away
Somewhere where all my care just disappeared
But that golden shore is a place so far out of reach
It's like I put in so much work just to get beached
This sound has become the source of my stress
Oh Lord I'm getting no rest
But how can you say you relate to me when
You don't even look my way
So go on keep turning away
You don't even look my way
So go on keep turning away
Here I am at the sinkhole of all the thoughts I drink, oh
I'm on the brink but these people don't even blink
I should have known I'd be left to do this on my own
And write a "song" to cast away all the hurt I tend to breathe
Walking by no glimmer in the eyes of these people that I see
So I'm waiting stiff and posed
Silent and waiting for
Someone to listen to me
I'm one person but I wanna make a splash in this pond we call home
Get heads turning
People thinking and singing to a rhythm of my own (rhythm of my own)
I wanna sing for crowds
But I've been told to pull my head out of the clouds
I'm clouded by doubt surrounding me
I'm praying to God night and day
If only a label would look my way
A ray of hope
But I fear these songs are just not good
I'm just getting started
Here in this "game" as a kid
But how can I stand out in this sea
I wanna make something of me
I wanna be a vessel I wrestle with thoughts of submission
To give in to all of the dubiety in me
That's facing me
But how can I make people buy that this is me
Who I wanna be when
You don't even look my way
So go on keep turning away
You don't even look my way
So go on keep turning away
Turn away
Turn away
Turn away
