MY ABSENCE WILL GO UNNOTICED

My Absence Will Go Unnoticed (demo) (2:54)

My absence will go unnoticed
To the people I already know
Just as well as the people I don't
My disappearance will cause no interference
To the long arc of human regress
As I bend to forgetfulness

There's no skill I possess
That another can't surpass
No insight I express
Beyond another's grasp
There's nothing I can make
That nature won't outlast
My absence will go unnoticed

My dissolution will incite no confusion
In the hearts of the people I've known
Just as much as theirs would on my own
My dissipation invites no condemnation
With my debts to the world all repaid
My apologies all relayed

I'm backing through my tracks
And erasing the trail
That's left in front of me
From every letter of every letter
I'm drawing out the ink
And refilling the wells
My absence will go unnoticed

Oh you won't know that I'm gone
Oh you won't know that I'm gone
Oh you haven't known that I've gone
And I won't know if I'm wrong

Isn't it indefensible
To make yourself
Indispensible to another?
Cultivate your obsolescence
If you can't guarantee
Your enduring presence!

But it never crossed my mind
There's no reason for concern
This joke was never made
These words were never heard
This song was never sung
I was never here
My absence will go unnoticed

My absence will go unnoticed still
My absence will go unnoticed still
My absence will go unnoticed still
My absence will go unnoticed still
