Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

Well, now it seems more than silence has been broken
And I think I've figured out the dying lie
Yes, the truth is that your dialect is half-truth (Truth)
Another conversation's died alone
This is something we created
Yes, well, sufferment's abated
It doesn't have to be a prophecy
We could be both seeking destiny
It's fucking down to us and them
You can decide the side what wins
Well, now's the time, are you the hunter or the fucking hunted?
(Absent)
Ab-sent, sometimes I feel like it's us against them
(Absent)
Ab-sent, sometimes I feel like their angers are justified
If it feels like I'm absent from your conversation
Just keep on talking, and you might find out
Now it seems that there are no easy answers
To the same old questions I've been posed
What does it mean? Why would you bother asking me?
Like it’s something I should know
Just 'cause they paid me to take that
I guess their money gave me credence
Watch our records soar
As you slow down to buy the accident, so sick!
(Absent)
Ab-sent, sometimes I feel like it's us against them
(Absent)
Ab-sent, if you still talk to me, you was born to fight
If it seems like I'm absent from your conversation
Just keep on talking, and you just might find, you're probably right
Know, that I'll pull your covers, bitch (yeah, fuck you)
Yes, well, I'm fittin' to knock that ego down
Well, I might slap your punk-ass to the floor
Stupid motherfucker, nothin' but a buster, still talkin' shit
Devoid of soul, so you dig yourself a hole out
Someplace to place it, but they've taken that soul
You take the fun, I will load the gun for you
Incorrect, cause and effect, you've been sold
You wanna play? Fuck with my life?
Live in the wrong, so you live with the lies
Take the fun, load the gun
Incorrect, cause and effect, I'm-
(Absent)
Ab-sent, sometimes I feel like it's us against them
(Absent)
Ab-sent, sometimes I feel like to me you're prone to fight
If it feels like I'm absent from your conversation
Just keep on talking and you might find out, you're probably right
(Absent)
(I don't care!)
Yes, yes, you're probably right
(Absent)
(I don't care!)
Don't you know, know that you're probably right?
(Absent)
(I don't care!)
Yes, yes, you're probably right
(Absent)
(I don't care, woah!)
