The Sky's filled with ashes the seas full of oil my mind is polluted its rotten to the core thoughts multiply while the human race divides subtract intelligence add another lie This is life we'll never make it out alive doesn't mean our ideas won't survive let's build a world in which we can believe our souls are sick lets find a cure for our disease The streets are filled with enemies tiny robot eyes and ears my brains so full of drugs that I can't shake this fucking fear buildings hit the sky while skyscrapers rise my mind draws the blank no questions no lies.

I don't wanna wake up today (NO WAY!) I'd rather sleep it off just waste my whole damn day i don't wanna sit around wondering why watching the whole world die I don't wanna go to work today (No Way!) I'd rather sit around just waste my whole damn day I just wanna feel like a human being not like a robot machine And this microphone broadcasts all the things that I'm trying to say this drink in my hand takes all of my worries away my body is aching my mind is the mess fill my lungs with smoke now I can't catch my breath and I try and I try and I try but I don't wanna Sleep sleep sleep so quietly my heart beats beats beats in a syncopated pattern every day is exactly the same but today I'll take my coffee injected straight into my blood

No Rest 02:51
There's no rest for the brave I have no soul to save but I just can't sleep no matter how weak I become as the clock ticks my mind starts playing tricks and I just can't seem to wake no matter how bright the sun the stars in the sky are like blueprints for our minds the waves in the sea are exactly like our lives crashing and foaming and starting again just like the beginning as it reaches back into the end As digital campfires blaze our heads lay leaking sometimes i just can't tell if I'm thinking or if I'm speaking if I could just find my voice in the deafening sea of sound I'd catch the first fucking wave and ride it straight out of town

Scraps 03:14
I can hear the sound of the cemetery As I walk right through the night and it sounds like music to my ears makes me swallow all my fears for just one second I feel like maybe I’m not buried in the ground I wake up every morning and I dig myself out And when nothings left drunk friends and I search for scraps of meaning on the bones of modern life until we choke on apathy even though we know something just ain’t right I can hear the sounds of the city streets as work right through the night and it makes me want to be free makes me wanna get the fuck out of here here in this stainless steel i watch my life go by I feel like I’m digging my own grave like i’m being buried before I die

about

Absent Minds Portland, Oregon

The members of Absent Minds are no strangers to change. Over the years since the band's formation in 2007 a lot has changed.

Absent Minds plays music from the heart for a generation that has already been defined by the mistakes that it never got to make. ... more
