Lyrics

Maybe you’re just getting older,
feels like the world’s growing colder, oh oh. 
You stay in your own echo chamber, 
whatever makes you feel safer, oh oh oh.

But when the walls start closing around you 
there’s no more quiet corners to run to.
Twisted words and pointed fingers surround you 
threatening to tear up everything in two.

But don’t look away, 
don’t look away, 
don’t look away.

Nothing looks like it used to,
all the disguises were cut loose, oh oh. 
Everything that you understood
has been pulled out from under you, oh oh oh.

But when the walls start closing around you 
there’s no more quiet corners to run to.
Twisted words and pointed fingers surround you 
threatening to tear up everything in two.

Don’t look away, 
don’t look away, 
don’t look away, 
don’t look away.
