Turn Away

The candle flickers and the shadows
Move distorted on the wall
There's a wire slowly stretching
And now you ask him all the questions
The same ones as before
But you know that he is lying
And with your arms around him now
You beg him please
But he moves towards the open door
Still you find you're screaming no
But something breaks this time
You find you cannot move
Ch:
And is it wrong to let him walk into the water
Close my eyes for just one moment
I get so tired the endless days
Of watching over
And is it wrong as the waves boil up
To greet him to turn away
He disappears into the tide
All your love it cannot save him
And everybody holds a secret
That draws them with its breath
The one that will destroy them
Oh the warming glow of poison
It's so easy going down
Just to spite the days of reason
Oh my abandoned child
We'll both end up as fools
Oh I can see it in your craving eyes
That I cannot hold you over the water
Just when we're lost and drown
In the roar of the crashing waves
