Turn The Other Way

Avenged Sevenfold · Sounding the Seventh Trumpet [2001]

Slit my wrists, take away the pain

Slit my throat, everyone's to blame

Lost in the fields of confusion

Restless nights, they're not far away



I came here for something and I'm not turning back

A strong piece of mind but you still hold my keys

Keeping my fate deep within your threshold

Petty inconvenience but it means the world to me



You hold the power to set me free

Caught in your grasp now, just let me be

Give me control out, out of these depths

A fiery hell, I pray for death



I've been the wrong one time and time again

Now I'm on my knees, forgive me please



Tore out my heart and handed it to me on a silver platter

Sew up the hole, emptiness in the place of compassion

You made me this way, I am the product of your creation

Sew up the hole, now you've turned your back the other way



You've turned away from me

The future's much too far away to see

I hope you learn the truth

Not the way things were meant to be with me and you
