In My Absence

[00:41.68] Eyes that meet to say farewell
[00:43.80] And linger through the sleepless nights
[00:46.44] A trail of days that end in tears
[00:52.90] But I can never be there
[00:58.37] The rush of hours that never seem to end
[01:03.26] What life has dealt, you cannot comprehend
[01:10.77] I am the absentee
[01:17.47] I know you're out there searching tonight
[01:23.23] I'm right here
[01:26.40] Another day and I cannot see through your eyes
[01:32.23] I'm right here
[01:39.00] How could I have known
[01:41.12] What preceded your own thoughts
[01:43.33] Wish that I could listen
[01:46.14] To what only speaks inside
[01:48.54] Every raging dissonance
[01:50.21] Each jarring note
[01:55.06] But I could never be there
[02:00.58] How can you think
[02:03.26] That I would understand
[02:05.69] When words just go around
[02:07.87] What the heart truly wants
[02:12.55] I am the absentee
[02:19.58] I know you're out there searching tonight
[02:25.14] I'm right here
[02:28.52] Another day and I cannot see through your eyes
[02:34.22] I'm right here
[02:46.28] I want to tell you
[02:50.57] Of the exploding light
[02:54.64] How everything is visible
[02:59.06] Moments before the dark
[03:27.25] I am never, never there
[03:42.24] I know you're out there searching tonight
[03:49.90] Another day and I'm not there
[04:01.36] Thrust with nails of conflict, anxiety and pain
[04:05.61] Through spells of anger, confusion and defeat
[04:10.07] I wish I'd see me here in front of you
[04:17.43] But I am not here
[04:25.68] I know you're out there searching tonight
[04:30.71] I'm right here
[04:33.94] Another day and I cannot see though your eyes
[04:42.52] I know you're out there
[04:48.81] But I'm right here
[04:51.86] Another day and I cannot see though your eyes
[04:57.86] Lead me right
[05:00.25]
