Absentee Without Leave - After The Fall

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
