Turn Away from Chemicals by Donny Zuzula

You've swallowed your emotions
For so many years
That there's nothing but rage
But you wish there were tears
Your numbness
Your distance
You've fronted as strength
You keep those you love
Just outside an arms length


Your models of heroes
We're cold hearted fools
Who hid from their lives
Behind bottles of booze
And a backhand came quicker
Than the words I love you
however you try
it's the one thing you can’t do


turn away
see the life that you've made
There's love left in your heart
You won't show it
salvation comes in their hands
and you know it

Don’t turn away
see the ones you’ve betrayed
you’ve hardened your heart
and you know it
but you just don’t understand
so you'll stay a heavy hearted man


and in thirty odd years
if your still alive
and carrying the carcass
of your soul that died
you can go to that your place
where your heroes would hide
propped up on a stool
numbing your failure one glass at a time

turn away
see the life that you've made
There's love left in your heart
You won't show it
salvation comes in their hands
and you know it

Don’t turn away
see the ones you’ve betrayed
you’ve hardened your heart
and you know it
but you just don’t understand
so you'll stay a heavy hearted man

when you’re all gone
buried deep in the ground
where theres no sun light, no wind
no rain and no sound
with just a stone marker
where your corpse can be found
no one will mourn you
when you’re not around
you’ve pushed them away
cause your love’s run aground

turn away
see the life that you've made
There's love left in your heart
You won't show it
salvation comes in their hands
and you know it

Don’t turn away
see the ones you’ve betrayed
you’ve hardened your heart
and you know it
but you just don’t understand
so you'll stay a heavy hearted man
