If you look away even for a second It's bound to break your back and leave you with the wreckage Just a rolling pouring poison down that throat With no concern about reaching for any goals Maybe if I make it home tonight Not to get torn apart or knifed in a fistfight At night awake alive I'm barely functioning And there is no regard for tomorrow's sting (I don't think I can contain myself) Look away - the memories they stay Look away - 'til the whole thing fades Poking holes in whatever comes near ya Just because you need to nobody dared you You had it all in the back of your Ford Went through the windshield left the pills on the floor Look away - the memories they stay Look away - never learn anything If you look away even for a second I'm bound to kick your a** and leave you with the wreckage You got one eye open the other's always hid Any sign of trouble well you're sure to shrink from it
