lyrics

So why d'ya run from what you can't see?
Live a lie if it makes sense
If you believe in all that's empty
ignorance is expense
I go from high to low
and so my mind works slow
or maybe I don't know
Fuck it I'm gone now I'm just absent.

I don't play your game
It's insane stop fucking with my mind
Fuck your dreams of fame
it's all a lie I aint got the time
if I could run away to stop fighting and trying and crying
if I could simple fade
well then I'm gone now I'm just absent.

So why d'ya run from all you can't see
sell yourself if it makes sense
sell your soul and leave on empty
you wouldn't even pay your rent
now I'm ashamed to know
I know our time is gold
but death it takes a hold
so now I'm gone yeah I'm just absent

I don't play the game
it's insane stop messing with my mind
fuck these dreams of fame
it's all a lie I don't have the right
if I could run away
to stop fighting and trying and crying
if I could simply fade
well would you come? would you be absent?

If you believe in future
the shit they feed your mind
and all the constant shit that spills out of the arse of everyone
you're more fucked up than a doctor could ever grant you

it's not over
it's the beginning of the rise
fuck your future!
