Away, away, I can't get away
From all of the poison, from all of the pain
Away, away, I can't get away
From ourselves we shutter, from ourselves we can't escape
The world is never quiet, even silence makes a sound
A pin-prick, a blank strike, what was proud is still as proud
Watch it unfold on LCD sets
So we really, never, ever have to deal with it
Each pixel is a story of what there was before
Each cathode ray disguises just what we're looking for
Away, away, I can't get away
From all of the poison, from all of the pain
Away, away, I can't get away
From ourselves we shutter, from ourselves we can't escape
From the great north to a working man's hands
There's a story in the desert, below the cobblestones the sand
Our indulgence is just one step away
Lust has no end when there's no end and no one awake to say
Are we afraid of you?
Are we the same as you?
Each pixel is a story of what there was before
Each wire tapped for water, to homogenize the poor
Each commercial will remind us that things couldn't get much worse
Away, away, I can't get away
From all of the poison, from all of the pain
Away, away, I can't get away
From ourselves we shutter, from ourselves we can't escape
Are we afraid of you?
Are we the same as you?
Yeah
Away, away, I can't get away
From all of the poison, from all of the pain
Away, away, I can't get away
From ourselves we shutter, from ourselves we can't escape
Away, away, I can't get away
From all of the poison, from all of the pain
Away, away, I can't get away
From ourselves we shutter, from ourselves we can't escape
Away, away
From all of the poison, from all of the pain
Away, away, I can't get away
From ourselves we shutter, from ourselves we can't escape
