While I Was Away
Quelle: Spotify
Why would you talk about me every single time I’m gone
I’m not there but I can hear you. All your whispers and your songs
I forgive you for your habits, nasty as they tend to be
I guess we all have em to a natural degree
I told you that I would be leaving. I have missions to attend
I’m convinced I have to do this with your blessing as a friend
[in this godforsaken land]
I’m on my way now but I’ve got so far to go
And believe me, when I come back I am gonna wanna know
[I am gonna wanna know]
Get medieval on you. Give it to you straight
Expose the demon in you. Get him out my way
So that when I’m not there. You will know your place
And when my spirit haunts you, you’ll say it to my face
I hope you will learn but if not, too bad
Focus on yourself, for the time you have
Tell me who’s really changed here, I wonder is it me or you?
We say we respect each other. is that forgery or truth?
[is it forgery or truth?]
There’s no silence in my absence. Maybe that’s what sparked your mind
Conclusions and assumptions about how I have crossed your lines
[about how I have crossed your lines]
[time after time]
Somehow my person changes in your eyes and words
Whenever I’m not looking. It’s every human being’s curse
[every human being’s curse]
[you’re not the last and not the first]
I can’t control your thinking. I just can’t make that call
All the power I have is to cease to care at all
[is to cease to care at all]
Get medieval on you. Give it to you straight
Expose the demon in you. Get it out my way
So that when I’m not there. You will know your place
And when my spirit haunts you, you’ll say it to my face
While I was away a part of me remained
But it never had a say in the judgement that you made
Even after all, conflicts of interest and vision; intellects colliding in the pris- ons of our wary minds, dare we find a nexus where the fading time begets us in agreement? Teaming up to free the needy from their demons. Does your purpose supersede yourself, or does awareness quell you as it does me on my quest for being free? Do you need help agreeing to disembowel the killer whale inside you in order to retrieve all the mercy it consumed? Trust me to look behind you. Back to back if you watch mine too. Time proved your wounds are healed already. All you need to do is love them. It’s heavy but you’ll kiss the scars up to your gods, embrace them as the wrath of heaven. Whichever truth is yours you’ll recognize it in a second. Lives are either wasted or applied. Your soul will either face mine or die
You’re still breathing, ain’t you? So it’s not too late
You know there’s only one man. Who can seal your fate
It’s not your gods and not me. Not in any case
It’s your light and darkness that you must embrace
While I was away, a part of me remained
And it never had a say in the judgement that you made
I hope I will learn but if not, too bad
Focus on myself for the time I have
I hope we’ll outgrow our dispute one day
All my words are spent. Nothing left to say
We have failed, my brethren. Can we be condoned?
Tell me all is lost and I will leave you alone
