Away / Absent

A new job in a new town
Your favorite fix to get you through the day
Wild flesh on a big screen
Wolfing down lies, junk and aspartame

Bright noise
To silence what you say
Transcendence and video game rewards
Dazzling drugs to cast the clouds away

So what do you know about sex and death?
Nothing
Nothing

Take me away from here
Give me something to escape
Drain me
Waste me
Numb me
Take my everything

Today I leave it all behind
I feel so light
I feel so light

My burden swallowed by the tide
I feel so light
I feel alive

And I am never coming back
