Lyrics
The Absentee
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
And its felt like lead
To think to let anything else in
It is too heavy to stand
I won't push out
Please God this tears me apart
On the inside
You quit and you suck
And you are still the same
...As far as I can see
I wish to breathe
I can't take this change
I would rather stay here
With my hands gripping my throat
What now?
You find yourself on the outside?
What about them?
What about her?
What about all of your responsibility?
I find this in blood
For some...easy to walk away
I find that I can never break
God! This hurts
It tears me apart on the inside
I've quit, we are done
It seems that now youre the absentee
I still feel so much for you
