Darren Hanlon - Away

There's a scar on your right arm that tells a story
Of a miscalculated movement long ago
It's the reason you now claim your territory
The way a mountain tries to hold it's snow

In a movie I swore I heard your voice behind me
It was all I could do to keep from turning round
I just sat there and let the flickering light define me
Just another pale face that's floating in space
Who'd forgo the charms of the whole human race

If I could change the alphabet inside you
And make it spell something you'd understand
But there's all these other signs trying to guide you
They're flashing affirmations on demand

Away with those demons and devils and pain
Away with the days til I see you again
Away with this garbage that passes for art
Away with the stone that has grown in your heart

The wind that gathers in the trees around you
Makes a mess of crazy tangles in your hair
And there's all these other signs trying to guide you
Like a broken street light, that's flashing all night
It goes on again off again off again on again

Away with the hours that keep you in bed
Away with revisions you make in your head
Away with the trouble that brews in your stars
Away with the worries that know where you are
