Absence

Scared to open up these eyes
See just what's inside
Twisted and cold
This house is not a home
Help me now
I'm dying here all alone.
This is not a new game
So don't think that you know.
Casually I confide
Awake and paralyzed
Forever in one word
Forever is the longest time
It's the only cure
I'm not sure I'll survive.
This is not a new game
So don't think that you know.
Can you see these blood shot eyes?
And can you see...
That my strength is failing
And I can't go on this way
And this hearts not beating
It just doesn't seem the same.
And my strength is failing
And I can't go on this way
Can't go on this way...
Promise me, Promise me
Promise me, You will not ever leave...
Promise me, You will not ever leave...
Promise me, You will not ever leave...
Promise me, You will not ever leave...
You will not ever leave.
And my strength is failing
And I can't go on this way
And this heart's not beating
It just doesn't seem the same.
It just doesn't seem the same...
