Lyrics
In My Absence
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
No, Poison me to say farewell
And lingers through the sleepless nights
A trail of days that end in tears
But I can never be there
The rush of hours
That never seem to end
My life to tell? You can not comprehend
I am the absentee
I know you're out there searching tonight
I'm right here
Another day and I cannot see through your eyes
I'm right here
How could I have known
Whats receding in your thoughts
Wish that I could listen to what always beats inside
For reaching diffidence
Reaching out
But I can never be there
How can you think
That I will understand
When your words just go around what your heart truly wants
I am the absentee
I know you're out there searching tonight
I'm right here
Another day and I cannot see through your eyes
I'm right here
I want to tell you
You're the exploding light
How everything is visible
Moments before the dark
I am never, never there
I know you're out there searching tonight
Another day and I'm not there
Thrust with nails comfort, anxiety and pain
Through spells or anger, confusion and defeat
I wish you'd see me here in front of you
But I am not here
I know your out there searching tonight, I'm right here
Another day and I cannot see though your eyes
I know your out there
But I'm right here
Another day and I cannot see though your eyes
Lead me right
