Lyrics
Absenter
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.
Entropy's in embroidered on skin
corrupt, latch-hook thin for show
You're in at dusk
They clean you up until you glow
Absenter, Absenter!
Secede, recede, I'll mark your retreat
Layers at a time, get what you need
You're marks on tiles, piss in the flowerbed
Absenter, Absenter!
Save a little bit, save it
Send it back to me
Absenter, absenter, absenter
Absenter, absenter, absenter
