AFK

We're too late, we're too late
(Release the rigging)

No one uses the phone anymore
The tracks are wrecked and the odometer's ticking
The edge is pushed and the lines are melting
Too scared to look at what I hear outside, release

(We're too late)

Protect, embrace, engulf
Remember the summer in Abaddon
Protect, enslave, in love (We're too late)
Remember the summer in Abaddon

Way offsides and I'm almost empty
I'm cracked and stripped like a domino's crush
Send a tell if you're ever near me
I'm A.F.K. and I can't get by, release me

This vessel's underway, secure the rigging
(Tack the sails, man the posts) We're headed south
(We're headed south into the wind)

Protect, embrace, engulf
Remember the summer in Abaddon
Protect, enslave, in love
Remember the summer in Abaddon

(We're too late) Protect, embrace, engulf
Remember the summer in Abaddon
(We're too late) Protect, enslave, in love
Remember the summer in Abaddon

No one hears you fall to the floor
The mirror's broke and the Newtonian's clicking
The finds are pressed and the veins are pumping
Too far gone to do more than breathe, release me

This vessel's underway
Headed south

Miles and miles of telephone poles fallen and tossed around
I can't talk to you anymore and I miss you
And I miss you
Not in a Slint way, but I miss you

Seldom to touch far away from here, even if I'm released
I can't talk to you anymore, and I miss you
And I miss you
Not in a Slint way, but I miss you
