Away from you

Say, you got a minute friend?
Because I'd like to tell you something.
You may think nothing of it,
but wait...you're gonna love it.
What if I told you I held
the one true philosphy?
Would you hear me out
or just turn your back
and laugh at me?
Lord, I just don't understand
this strange creature you call man.
Who thinks he lives by his own
hand, but I know.
There's no life away from you.

So I will remain still and silent,
for fear of the words I may say.
And am I still in my defiance,
when I'm trying so hard to obey?
