[Chorus]
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 shut off, from ourselves we can't escape

[Verse 1]
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 screen sets
So we really, never, ever have to deal with it

[Pre-Chorus]
Each pixel is a story of what there was before
Each cathode ray disguises just what we're looking for

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
From the great north to a working man's hand
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
[Bridge]
Are we afraid of you?
Are we the same as you?

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

[Chorus] (x3)
