Lyrics

absence

[Verse 1]

Shell of a person

Composed on the surface

Tell my family I'm sorry

You can bury my body

Every day I pretend it's okay

I'm confined in my mind

No, I mean it this time

I'ma pack all my things

I'ma leave them behind

Wrap my neck with regrets

That I kept in my chest

When I was born signed a deal with the reaper

It's funny how I had no choice in it either

I hope that you're well, me I can't say the same

I've been holding this all, now I can't take the weight

[Chorus]

I'm the dial tone

Of your loved one's phone

Memories from long ago

Of your childhood home

[Verse 2]

I've been staying up every night

I can see all my flaws in the sunrise

Drown in the sheets every day wake up

And the room start to capsize

'Cause I could never be anything more than me

See I tried and you know that

The years go by, I don't know why things change can't go back

[Chorus]

I'm the dial tone

Of your loved one's phone

Memories from long ago

Of your childhood home
