Absent

I'm not as well-put together as I'd like to have you think

Portray a character of confidence to hide these broken wings

'Cause we are not permanent, not staying here

Our bodies soon go missing

Though you'd love to stay plus find a way

And I believe you're not sane

I bury myself right and turn the idea of life

Under every situation that just never turned out right

Lately, faintly, staring back at me

While I'm drowning in your openness

Find it hard to breathe

Try for your shore, for consistency

I'm absent, filled with hopelessness

I'm your land on sea

I slowly break but in your wake I'm feeling old

It's such a love, I'm real enough to grab ahold of words

Oh, I feel too much, in a late night rain bring a wind so rough

It'll move this all to a gentle hush

And I'll, in the meantime

'Cause this moment's everything

And we love with broken wings

Lately, faintly staring back at me

While I'm drowning in your openness

Find it hard to breathe

Try for your shore, for consistency

I'm absent, filled with hopelessness

I'm your land on sea

Feel your cold ways take away my breath

'Cause I'm weak when you pay company to my burning chest

Like iron I slowly fell apart, you don't want to see

God, I found your broken heart, take this life away from me

Lately, faintly, staring back at me

While I'm drowning in your openness

Find it hard to breathe

Try for your shore, for consistency

I'm absent, filled with hopelessness

I'm your land on sea

'Cause I'm your land on sea

I'm your land on sea
