On Account Of An Absence Lyrics

Hope your not looking down on me today
I've tried to do my best carrying this weight
I know about vengeance upon thee
I have never forgotten for one second
But this was hard
You must know I regret that morning more than anything
And I'd give my life to get it back
That is not, not to say I don't love this
But there is not one day i can forget
There's not one day, there is not one day
Sometimes I feel I'm waiting biding time
Waiting for something that may never come
Still everything is different
All was changed, everything
All that we live for
All that we dreamed of taken away
Sometimes I swear that I'm waiting for
Something to jump out at me
Where can you go when they come calling
Where can you hide when they come for you
Times like this when the walls close in and I can't breathe
I call your name

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

"Times like this when the walls close in and I can't breathe I call your name " I know how that goes... My favorite hardcore guitarists in this band; same guy from 7 angels, 7 plagues.
