The Absent

Don't it look like rain, mama
Don't it look so cold outside
All the people seem scared and tired
And all the stars seem alight
There's no use in the air, anymore mama
There's no use in their eyes

I just come to say it's over
I just come to say goodbye
I won't compete with the absent
I won't compete for the prize

All them faces are glowing, mama
You can't see what's inside
There's no use for them being anymore
They got the calls in their eyes
It seems a waste to be careless, mama
There's no-one here left to fight

Something - give me something, we're fallin away
Through the minds and the notions we've only depraved
It's a tired imitation that calls your name
It's a cursed invitation that haunts your grave

I just come to say it's over
I just come to say goodbye
I won't compete with the absent
I won't compete for the prize
