Lyrics

Absorbed

[Intro: Ben Kowalewicz]

Give it up now!

Hey, you!

[Verse 1: Ben Kowalewicz]

I said no, I don't think that I wanna die

And right for this, I need a reason why

When you humans act so funny

And I need to fill my tummy

I tried, well I lied

[Verse 2: Ben Kowalewicz]

I said no, I don't know why I act this way

Something seems to change from day to day

I'm feeling kinda silly

And my mood seems kinda fitting

I tried, I lied, but through the waves I'll find

[Chorus: Ben Kowalewicz (& Ian D'Sa)]

(I'll find) But through the waves I'll find

(I'll find) And through the waves I'll find

(I'll find) Through the waves I'll find

(I'll find) Now through the waves I'll find

(I'll find) And through the waves I'll find

Oh! You! Woo!

[Verse 3: Ben Kowalewicz]

And I don't feel like a man today

All good themes have been blown away

I'm feeling kinda giddy

And my mood seems kinda fitting

I tried, I lied, but through the waves I'll find

[Chorus: Ben Kowalewicz (& Ian D'Sa)]

(I'll find) But through the waves I'll find

(I'll find) And through the waves I'll find

(I'll find) And through the waves I'll find

(I'll find) And through the waves I'll find

(I'll find) And through the waves I'll find

[Post-Chorus: Ben Kowalewicz (with Ian D'Sa)]

And through the waves I'll find

I'll find

I'll find

I'll find

[Bridge: Ben Kowalewicz]

Some peace of mind

That's in you

And all the things you do

[Outro: Ben Kowalewicz]

I'll ride you out, I'll ride you out

I'll ride you out, I'll ride you out

I'll ride you out, I'll ride you out

I'll ride you out, I'll ride you out

I'll ride you out
