Lyrics

Well now it seems more than silence has been broken
And I think I figured out the dying lie
Yes, the truth is that your dialect is half-true
Another conversation's died alone

This is something we created
Yes, the 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 which side will win
But now's the time: are you the hunter or the fucking
Hunted!?

Absent - sometimes I just feel like it's us against them
Absent - sometimes it feels like their angers are justified
If it seems like I'm absent from your conversation
Just keep on talking and you'll just 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 - sometimes I just feel like it's us against them
Absent - sometimes it feels like their angers are justified
If it seems like I'm absent from your conversation
Just keep on talking and you'll just find out
You're probably right

Know that I'll pull your covers bitch
Yes, well I'm fitting to knock that ego down
Well I might slap you punk ass to the floor
Stupid motherfucker, nothing but a buster
Still talking shit

Devoid of soul, so you dig yourself a hole out
....
You take the fun out, I'll 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 - sometimes I just feel like it's us against them
Absent - sometimes it feels like their angers are justified
If it seems like I'm absent from your conversation
Just keep on talking and you might find out
You're probably right

I don't care
Yes, yes, you're probably right
Don't you know you're probably right
Yes, yes, you're probably right
