[Verse 1]

Vacate is the word

Vengeance has no place so near to her

Cannot find the comfort in this world

Artificial tear

Vessel stabbed, next up, volunteers?

Vulnerable, wisdom can't adhere

[Chorus 1]

A truant finds home

And a wish to hold on

But there's a trapdoor in the sun

[Refrain]

(Immortality)

[Verse 2]

As privileged as a whore

Victims in demand for public show

Swept out through the cracks beneath the door

Holier than thou (How?)

Surrendered, executed anyhow

Scrawl dissolved, cigar box on the floor

[Chorus 2]

A truant finds home

And a wish to hold on to

But saw the trapdoor in the sun

[Instrumental Break]

[Refrain]

(Immortality)

[Bridge]

I cannot stop the thought

Of runnin' in the dark

A-comin' up a "Which Way?" sign

All good truants must decide

[Chorus 3]

Oh, stripped and sold mom

An auctioned forearm

And whiskers in the sink

Truants move on

Cannot stay long

Some die just to live

[Instrumental Outro]
