Look Away

Two eyes starring back at me

From a magazine in my room

Cutout paper tragedies

Paper tragedies, that haiku

So what good's a memory

If it only feels black and blue?

Creating a fantasy

Something I can dream that is true

I will always look away

If you say, if you say

I will only look away

If you say, if you say

You give me pleasure

Figuring it out

Each question in a shroud

It's been forever

Wasn't forever

I will only look away

If you say, if you say

I will only look away

If you say, if you say

I will only look away

If you say, if you say

And I will only look away

If you say, if you say

I see how much I lost

From scratching a memory

Till all the color's off

Revealing the jagged lines

Still there in black and white

When I close my eyes

If I close my eyes

But I can't laugh about it yet

It's all too soon

The thing's we used to joke about

Have all come true

I had to slowly back away

I will only look away

If you say, if you say

I will only look away

If you say

I will only look away

If you say, if you say

I will never look away

When you say
