about

Written by F. Todd Tijerina
song about apathy

lyrics

Freezin’ in the street
No shoes on his feet
Left to his wits to fight hunger and the cold
An unjust sentence for the crime of growin’ old
I’m lookin’ away
I won’t be dismayed
By what I don’t see

Young mother huddled on the stairway ‘neath the storm
Trades her child’s next meal for that needle in her arm
Searchin’ for her pleasure in the rain
Maybe retreatin’ from a life that’s full of pain
I’m looking away
I won’t be dismayed
By what I don’t see

I look at myself in the mirror and wonder why
I know this person yet I don’t know who’s inside
It’s hard to face the weaknesses that lie within
I’m lookin’ away
I’m lookin’ away
I’m lookin’ away

I look at myself in the mirror and wonder why
I know this person yet I don’t know who’s inside
It’s hard to face the weaknesses that lie within
I’m lookin’ away
I’m lookin’ away
I’m lookin’ away
