The Absence of Answers by Vagrant

In the words that they understood that proved the worthlessness of me
The fate that awaits outside is telling me now to breathe
Well, I’m not going to give you answers that you want so you can leave
I don’t want to lose more than a limb for the words I can’t let you seize

“Does somebody know who you are?”
I don’t even belong in the war you’re in; in the world I’m in for so long
But I don’t want to die tonight so can you let me go
“Tonight you’ll scream what we want to know..”

With the tightening of the metallic hug he feels the drill in his hands
He can say that the blood isn’t his but the pain is no mistake
Well, I’m not going to speak distinctly if you don’t help me
“Well the bars don’t want to open unless you die so unhappily”
“Does somebody know who you are?”

“Does somebody know who you are?”
I don’t even belong in the war you’re in; in the world I’m in for so long
But I don’t want to die tonight so can you let me go
“Tonight, you’ll scream, in pain, what we want to know..”
In all the worlds I’m in…I’m in…

These last hours so quiet
Brought a servant girl in silence
With water that’ll make you sick
“You’ll beg on the end...”
These last hours so quiet
These last hours so...
Just let these bars justify it...these last hours so quiet
Do you want to choose?

And as you reach for the keys to set me from the chains
And if you want to run away from The Reckoning then why’d you come?
“Try to stumble away from the cell that keeps you wanting you dead.”
Nothing here is as it seems...

But I guess that you’re one of the ones who didn’t die
In Precinct 5 today
But I guess that you should tell me where the story starts
When all our luck’s away
But I guess that you’re one of the ones who didn’t die
In Precinct 5 today
But I guess that you should tell me where the story starts

“Does somebody know who you are?”
I don’t even belong in the war you’re in; in the world I’m in for so long
But I don’t want to die tonight so can you let me go
“Tonight, you’ll scream, in pain, what we want to know..”
In all the worlds you’re in...
“Does somebody know who you are?” (No...no)
I don’t even belong in the war you’re in; in the world I’m in for so long (Then what are you doing here?)
But I don’t want to die tonight so can you let me go
Then you stay close to your gun
