[Intro – clean, distant, cold] I turn away… from the pain of living in a cold, heartless world… [Verse 1] Another day, another weight on my chest They smile with empty eyes, then they leave me for dead I’ve been drowning in silence, screaming inside This world’s got no pulse, just a black hole of lies Every face is a mirror that never reflects Just reflections of hatred, regret, and neglect I’m done with the chains that they call “being free” I’m done with the version they wanted of me [Pre-Chorus] I feel the freeze in my veins But I won’t stay and decay [Chorus – heavy, anthemic] I turn away from the pain Of living in a cold, heartless world I turn away from the shame Of giving my soul to a place that just hurts I turn away… I turn away… I turn away from the pain Of living in a cold, heartless world [Verse 2] They built these walls out of concrete and fear Told me to smile while they sharpened the spear I’ve carried their ghosts like a second skin But I’m tearing it off, I’m done letting them win No more apologies for the fire in my chest No more pretending this cage is a rest I’m burning the map that they drew with my blood I’m rewriting the story in ashes and mud [Pre-Chorus] I feel the freeze in my veins But I won’t stay and decay [Chorus] I turn away from the pain Of living in a cold, heartless world I turn away from the shame Of giving my soul to a place that just hurts I turn away… I turn away… I turn away from the pain Of living in a cold, heartless world [Bridge – breakdown, low and heavy] Cold… Heartless… World… I’m done bleeding for it I’m done kneeling for it I’m done dying for it I turn… I turn… I turn away [Final Chorus – bigger, layered vocals] I turn away from the pain Of living in a cold, heartless world I turn away from the shame Of giving my soul to a place that just hurts I turn away… I turn away… I turn away from the pain Of living in a cold, heartless world [Outro – fading, defiant] I turn away… I turn away… From this cold, heartless world…
