In Absentia Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There was once a boy with knives stuck in his voice
All he wanted, all he wanted was a little affection
Until one day he caved into his mother's taste
All she wanted, all she wanted was to spread her infection

[Pre-Chorus]
He spins her spindle weaving fuse
Burning fumes of lucid youth to mend
Her broken flesh

[Chorus]
They've stolen all my love, buried in absentia rose
Can you hear my vitreous heart breaking in absentia rose?
Smoke stack burning, eidolon turning
I won't ever let you go
They've stolen all my love
Yes, they've stolen all my love

[Verse 2]
He brings her the bait, she makes him her pet
Does he want some, does he want a little insurrection?
With oneiric gaze in somatic days
Ocular incision tell me I'm the reason
I've just gotta get out of here

[Pre-Chorus]
He spins her spindle weaving fuse
Burning fumes of lucid youth to mend
Her useless flesh

[Chorus]
They've stolen all my love, buried in absentia rose
Can you hear my vitreous heart breaking in absentia rose?
Smoke stack burning, eidolon turning
I won't ever let you go
They've stolen all my love
Yes, they've stolen all my love

[Bridge]
Taken by the night, divagate remembrance
Check the puzzle, does it fit?
I am alpha and omega
And on the seventh day I rise
Past the pangs of my resistance
When the son gives up his throne
What becomes of this theft?

[Outro]
Dasehra, make these shackles go away
Dasehra, make these shackles go away
Dasehra, won't you help me stand my ground if I should fall?
Dasehra, as long as I am injured
Dasehra, as long as I remember
Dasehra, as long as I am injured
Dasehra, as long as I remember
Dasehra, as long as I am injured
Dasehra, as long as I remember
Dasehra, as long as I am injured
