In My Absence

[00:13.04] Eyes that meet to say farewell
[00:25.01] And linger through the sleepless nights
[00:28.06] A trail of days that end in tears
[00:33.08] But I can never be there
[00:39.06] The rush of hours that never seem to end
[00:45.09] What life has dealt, you cannot comprehend
[00:51.07] I am the absentee
[00:58.05] I know you're out there searching tonight
[01:04.08] I'm right here
[01:07.04] Another day and I cannot see through your eyes
[01:13.02] I'm right here
[01:17.22]
[01:20.02] How could I have known
[01:22.08] What preceded your own thoughts
[01:24.07] Wish that I could listen
[01:27.04] To what only speaks inside
[01:29.06] Every raging dissonance
[01:31.05] Each jarring note
[01:36.04] But I could never be there
[01:41.00] How can you think
[01:44.06] That I would understand
[01:47.01] When words just go around
[01:48.07] What the heart truly wants
[01:53.03] I am the absentee
[02:00.08] I know you're out there searching tonight
[02:06.01] I'm right here
[02:09.04] Another day and I cannot see through your eyes
[02:15.02] I'm right here
[02:21.09]
[02:27.01] I want to tell you
[02:31.06] Of the exploding light
[02:35.06] How everything is visible
[02:40.05] Moments before the dark
[02:45.05]
[03:08.01] I am never, never there
[03:16.01]
[03:23.07] I know you're out there searching tonight
[03:31.02] Another day and I'm not there
[03:39.02]
[03:42.09] Thrust with nails of conflict, anxiety and pain
[03:46.03] Through spells of anger, confusion and defeat
[03:51.02] I wish I'd see me here in front of you
[03:57.02]
[03:59.07] But I am not here
[04:06.09] I know you're out there searching tonight
[04:12.00] I'm right here
[04:15.01] Another day and I cannot see though your eyes
[04:22.01]
[04:24.02] I know you're out there
[04:30.02] But I'm right here
[04:33.00] Another day and I cannot see though your eyes
[04:39.09] Lead me right
[04:41.06]
