absence

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

I'm the dial tone
Of your loved one's phone
Memories from long ago
Of your childhood home

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

I'm the dial tone
Of your loved one's phone
Memories from long ago
Of your childhood home
