Absentee Without Leave Lyrics by After the Fall (AUS)

After the Fall

2004

Are you so low in confidence
That you take the next passerby?
Don't want to be alone
Don't want to be seen cry?
The happy face mask that you wear
Doesn't cover up the colour of your hair
So is the right thing to do
Tell somebody that you don't have, you don't have a clue
And I'll use misfortune to your advantage
And I'll wrap up the white feather, all in a bandage
The people are catching on to your passion
And grab the attention fast, because it's going out of fashion
(It's going out of fashion) Because it's going out of fashion
The happy face mask that you wear
Doesn't cover up the colour of your hair
So is the right thing to do
Tell somebody that you don't have, you don't have a clue
Run away to where the sun shines
Slip away, never looking behind
Yet days of old, follow the trail
To where your head rests
On the pillow of feathers you keep so close
Whatever you have misplaced
It cannot be retrieved
Swallow the pride, and believe
The happy face mask that you wear
Doesn't cover up the colour of your hair
So is the right thing to do
Tell somebody that you don't have, you don't have a clue
