"Absent Thereafter" lyrics
A pyramid of minds stare towards the stars
O geometric, organized polyhedron of secrets and deceit
The human forms, moon shows its gleam
Lights up this hopeless, wide-eyed crowd
A circular pattern, not moving
Alone, but together
The stars stand still for the first time
For the first time in history
This place is the plan?
La-di-da-di
The wind seems
Seems to have stopped
The sounds erase
A spaced glitch, full stop
This place is the plan?
La-di-da-di
The wind seems
Seems to have stopped
The sounds erase
A spaced glitch, full stop
Into our void, I join and gaze above
Slowly, the bodies around me start floating
Oh baby, let me see you fly
Entwined and in sync
I'm sheltered, so sheltered, and separate
Calloused, circular misery
This place is the plan?
La-di-da-di
The wind seems
Seems to have stopped
The sounds erase
A spaced glitch, full stop
This place is the plan?
La-di-da-di
The wind seems
Seems to have stopped
The sounds erase
A spaced glitch, full stop
To be nothing
To be nothing
Bring back the altar
Absent thereafter
In space, in space, I fear tomorrow
Clashing, clashing with our sorrow
To be nothing
Escaping
Absent thereafter
Full of coil
To be nothing
Escaping
Absent thereafter
Full of coil
Your smile's pulling from every line
Just seems to happen every time
P-Pulling back like a lost invite
Now look, look, look, I can't be tonight
Into our constant void
Belong, to what end?
Embrace my existence
There is only silence
Embrace my existence
Watch as it's been pushed away
That's where the good stuff lies
There is only silence
We've come here to lie
To ourselves
To be nothing
Absent thereafter
To be nothing
Absent thereafter
Escaping
Full of coil
To be nothing
Absent thereafter
Your smile's pulling from every line
Just seems to happen every time
P-Pulling back like a lost invite
Now look, look, look, I can't be tonight
I can't be tonight
It's happening, bad medicine
Here we go again, I'll always win
It's happening, bad medicine
Here we go again, I'll always win, always win, always win, always win
Coming to terms
Floating amongst the others
It comes back full circle, speak when spoken to
Looking beyond our mirrors
Pushing through, pushing through further and further
Floating amongst the others
It comes back full circle, speak when spoken to
Looking beyond our mirrors
Pushing through, pushing through further and further
The moon speaks
Loudly
Goodnight
O geometric, organized polyhedron of secrets and deceit
The human forms, moon shows its gleam
Lights up this hopeless, wide-eyed crowd
A circular pattern, not moving
Alone, but together
The stars stand still for the first time
For the first time in history
This place is the plan?
La-di-da-di
The wind seems
Seems to have stopped
The sounds erase
A spaced glitch, full stop
This place is the plan?
La-di-da-di
The wind seems
Seems to have stopped
The sounds erase
A spaced glitch, full stop
Into our void, I join and gaze above
Slowly, the bodies around me start floating
Oh baby, let me see you fly
Entwined and in sync
I'm sheltered, so sheltered, and separate
Calloused, circular misery
This place is the plan?
La-di-da-di
The wind seems
Seems to have stopped
The sounds erase
A spaced glitch, full stop
This place is the plan?
La-di-da-di
The wind seems
Seems to have stopped
The sounds erase
A spaced glitch, full stop
To be nothing
To be nothing
Bring back the altar
Absent thereafter
In space, in space, I fear tomorrow
Clashing, clashing with our sorrow
To be nothing
Escaping
Absent thereafter
Full of coil
To be nothing
Escaping
Absent thereafter
Full of coil
Your smile's pulling from every line
Just seems to happen every time
P-Pulling back like a lost invite
Now look, look, look, I can't be tonight

Embrace my existence
There is only silence
Embrace my existence
Watch as it's been pushed away
That's where the good stuff lies

Now look, look, look, I can't be tonight
I can't be tonight
It's happening, bad medicine
Here we go again, I'll always win
It's happening, bad medicine
Here we go again, I'll always win, always win, always win, always win
Coming to terms
Floating amongst the others
It comes back full circle, speak when spoken to
Looking beyond our mirrors
Pushing through, pushing through further and further
Floating amongst the others
It comes back full circle, speak when spoken to
Looking beyond our mirrors
Pushing through, pushing through further and further
The moon speaks
Loudly
Goodnight
