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 philosophy?
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 might say.
and am i still in my defiance,
when i'm trying so hard to obey?
