AWOL Lyrics
But I think you and I, we need to talk (Need to talk)
Because the soul of the code your equipment had sent me
Might as well have been outlined in chalk
Now I cannot decipher what all the static is
But I got a pretty good read on your black thoughts
The passion that makes me feel alive again
It's gonna be the death, the death of us
The passion that makes me feel alive again
Oh, it's gonna be the death, the death of us
Death of us
The spacе between us is like a crime scеne
(No) No blood and no fingerprints
(No) No blood and no fingerprints
(No) No blood and no fingerprints
(No) No blood and no fingerprints
You got the wrong man, I never crossed that line
You got the wrong man, I never crossed that line
A-W-O-L
I owe myself an apology
I owe myself an apology
I owe myself an apology
I owe myself an apology
I hope that I mean it
Take my word, I don't want it
Doubt it, right? Yeah, so do I
Take my word, I don't want it
It ain't no good
Don't just stand there and look at me
Come and give me your trash
I wanna feel your hot flash
I wanna see your teeth gnash
I wanna come in dead last
Go down together, get drunk at the bottom
And tell you some bullshit like, "Baby, our scars are the same"
We are out of this world
'Cause all good drugs go to heaven
We are out of this world
'Cause all good drugs go to heaven
About
On December 19, 2020, Every Time I Die aired an online “telethon” aptly titled “Every Time I Die’s Online Telethon Extravaganza to Raise Sixty-Nine Dollars for the Members of Every Time I Die”. The telethon included comedy sketches, interviews (which were actually just blatantly edited cameos), and pre-recorded live performances from the band.
During the telethon, the band debuted a new song entitled “AWOL” for the first time with a live performance. Fans who purchased a ticket to the online telethon were sent a link to download the new track, and shortly after the song was delivered, Keith posted the lyrics to his Twitter account:
The song was officially released on February 1st, 2021 and eventually appeared on Every Time I Die’s next album, Radical, alongside previous singles “A Colossal Wreck” and “Desperate Pleasures”.

Keith Buckley:
I thought this song was about something, but then I realized it was about something else. When I was writing it, I thought of it as my vision for what my life would be like when this record is released. But that version of Keith Buckley is not currently in this situation. Maybe he’s happy; maybe he’s not. I don’t know how to reach him because he doesn’t exist yet. But it’s actually not about that. It ended up being about a very specific person and a very specific time. I don’t think anyone reading Apple Music cares about this, so I’ll just say it’s a message to my future self.
