Don't Turn Around
Nothing is as it really seems,
Things can get you, real or fake,
You really are only safe in your dreams.
No, they will never give you a break.
Things will tear you apart in life
And make you struggle to believe.
Telling your friends will only cause strife,
For, of you, nothing they perceive.
When you try and escape
You'd better look around
For when your life begins to reshape
What you see will astound you.
She's waiting for you here.
NOTHING can interfere.
