Turn Away

We lit the fire and watched it burn
We didn't try to put it out
A million ashes in the skyline
Carried to a place without
All the things we hold so dear
And all the struggles with our peers
And the way we turn away, close our eyes

We left the scene and didn't look back
I can't describe how I felt
The crushing weight of my person
Made me wish of a place without
All the things we've dreamed to be
And all the places that we've been
And how we turn away, close our eyes
Turn away
Oh
