Dru Hamm – Avoidance feat. Abigail Palacios

Dru Hamm talks about “Avoidance”: “This song came from the inspiration from my own convictions of seeing a problem but not doing anything about it. There is a void in this world because we (christians) a”VOID” this world.”.

Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Now tell me was my brain right, p
I thought my answer was in plain sight.
But I got my eyes open, open all night
Now I’m looking out my window at the sunlight
Well just add another sleepless night
It’s like I’m in a ring but I can’t fight.
Grabbing hold to what I’m told to but I’m untrue,
I guess that’s why we fake it ’til we make it right….
Now tell me have you ever made it?
I’m guessing no one ever really does.
How come everyday I’m more faded
More jaded, I’m hurting and I can’t take it!
I can’t shake it! I can’t break it! Pick me up!
When I finally fall asleep I’m like WAKE ME UP!
My eyes open but it’s like I’m sleep walking!
With every step I get closer to my coffin.
You see I’m sick and hear me coughin,
You see the darkness that I’m lost in.
You see the darkness that I’m lost in,
How can you still sit and do nothing

(Hook)
What will it take,
For us to awake?
To take a stand, reach out a hand,
And pull the world from their grave.
We’re close to the flame
But we’re not getting burned
Keeping our distance, ignoring His children.
Avoiding the hurt.

(Verse 2)
We livin in a world with no joy.
Our children growin up with no choice.
On the news it’s kids and teachers getting shot.
We need the war crime and violence to STOP!
But we pause and look for applause
Because we just gave a penny for the cause.
But the cause is for us to be seen.
So turn up the lime light make sure they can see me.
What’s the cause, except the we are vain
Only worried about our own self gain.
That’s why there’s daughters with out loving fathers.
Looking for love from a man with no honor.
No your honor I plead not guilty
I blame it on the man who left when I was thirteen
I was hurting, I was certain
He would be the one to show me where my worth is.
See there’s a world out there searching,
But yet coming up empty,
Just listen to their prayer,
Please something come and fill this void in me.

(Verse 3)
Its a dangerous game that we play.
If I don’t fall of the edge I’m OK.
And I’m OK I just gotta find my own way.
Yea… But the blind lead the blind every day.
Walking by the cliff with your fist up,
Tell me what’s gon’ happen when you mess around and slip up
And maybe trip up, it’s time you pick your feet up
It’s time for us to step, you sleeping homie get up
And when you get up, don’t worry about your get up.
That vest from express is cool but don’t get it mixed up.
Don’t get it mixed up cause your searching for approval
My reward is not mine
I just pass it to the Devine
Tell me when it became ok for us to ride?
Tell me when it became ok for us to cruise?
All I hear is outta sight outta mind,
And if it’s not mine imma chunk the duce.
