Lyrics

AFK

[Intro]

We're too late, we're too late

(Release the rigging)

[Verse 1]

No one uses the phone anymore

The tracks are wrecked and the odometer's ticking

The edge is pushed and the lines are melting

Too scared to look at what I hear outside

Release

[Interlude]

We're too late

[Chorus]

Protect, embrace, engulf

Remember the summer in Abaddon

Protect, enslave, in love

Remember the summer in Abaddon

[Verse 2]

Way offsides and I'm almost empty

I'm cracked and stripped like a domino's crush

Send a tell if you're ever near me

I'm A.F.K and I can't get by

Release me

[Verse 3]

This vessel's underway

Secure the rigging, we're headed south

(Tack the sails, man the posts)

(We're headed south into the wind)

[Chorus]

Protect, embrace, engulf

Remember the summer in Abaddon

Protect, enslave, in love

Remember the summer in Abaddon

Protect, embrace, engulf

Remember, the summer, in Abaddon

Protect, enslave, in love

Remember, the summer, in Abaddon

[Verse 4]

No one hears you fall to the floor

The mirror's broke and the newtonian's clicking

The finds are pressed and the veins are pumping

Too far gone to do more than breathe

Release me

[Interlude]

This vessels underway

Headed south

[Outro]

Miles and miles of telephone poles

Fallen and tossed around

I can't talk to you anymore

And I miss you

And I miss you

Not in a Slint way, but I miss you

Seldom to touch far away from here

Even if I'm released

I can't talk to you anymore

And I miss you

And I miss you

Not in a Slint way, but I miss you
