# LOOK AWAY

[Verse 1 - cool, precise, sinister groove]

There's a little blue light on your face,  
Another bad day in another faraway place.  
You stop for a second, you lower your eyes,  
Then you crop out the pain and you brighten the skies.  
Put a heart on the tragedy, type something kind,  
Tell yourself you're different from the rest of mankind.  
The next one's funny, the next one's a fight,  
And the whole world disappears by the end of the night.

[Pre-Chorus - bass grows, tension rising]

We don't need the truth,  
We need a better angle.  
We don't need a cure,  
Just a story we can handle.  
If it makes us feel important,  
If it keeps us entertained,  
We can call ourselves the good ones  
While we do it all again.

[Chorus - explosive, dark melodic chant]

Look away, look away,  
Nothing here can ruin your day.  
Turn it up, let the bright screen glow,  
If you don't see it, you don't have to know.  
Look away, look away,  
Say a little prayer, then press replay.  
Everybody's innocent until the cameras say,  
Look away, look away.

[Post-Chorus - metallic rhythm, stacked chant vocals]

Look, like, share,  
Nobody's there.  
Look, like, share,  
We all say we care.  
Look, like, share,  
Perfect little prayer.  
Look, like, share,  
Look away.

[Verse 2 - sharper delivery, bass more aggressive]

There's a man selling hope with a link in his bio,  
There's a brand selling courage with a discount code.  
There's a million blue ticks explaining what's right,  
And a million silent people just trying to get by.  
The outrage is tailored, the grief has a fee,  
The algorithm knows what it wants us to see.  
Everybody wants justice, everybody wants fame,  
Everybody wants a villain with a face and a name.

[Pre-Chorus - rising intensity, clipped vocal doubles]

[Chorus - bigger drums, doubled lead, brass-like synth stabs]

[Bridge - beat drops to heartbeat kick and voice]

And me?  
I'm singing this song to make you listen.  
Putting my own face in the transmission.  
Selling you a warning with a perfect little beat,  
Making moral outrage sound expensive and sweet.  
So don't clap too soon.  
Don't call me brave.  
I'm standing in the spotlight  
That I say you should escape.

[Silence]

What did you come here to watch?

[Build - heartbeat becomes full industrial groove]

Look at the screen.  
Look at your hands.  
Look at the distance  
Between care and a brand.  
Look at the screen.  
Look at your hands.  
If we know what's happening,  
What changes when we stand?

[Final Chorus - full production, urgent vocal, gang responses]

[Final Post-Chorus - chant becomes increasingly stark]

Look, like, share,  
Nobody's there.  
Look, like, share,  
We all say we care.  
Look, like, share,  
What did we repair?

[Ending]
