Minus Absence

A stance, a prayer unanswered

A chase without a dream

I stare at the midnight sun

They called without a warning

They said I had to leave

Exposed to everyone

Here without a meaning

I question every call, question every move

Minus what I am feeling and the shadows outside

A mystery under crescent moon

Precautionary measures taken into

Consideration of the formal kind

Token stares are filled with pain

Or just die a death of which you would have in

Time seen your life through

Maybe one or two, even six if needed

Taken from what I know is yours

Managed to ignore, call it contradiction

Waiting for the sign to move in and break your fall

And the reasons are waiting

And the seasons are changing

With the madness and low self opinion

I have on myself and my peers

And decisions are wasted

And the bars on my cages

Drifting closer together, making harder to see

The ways to the truth

I've always felt so bad

Never wanted to play by your rules

And I believe you now, 'cause I never really understood

A stance a prayer unanswered, a chase without a dream

Call it warning, call it what you will

My anger inside, I blame it on

And the reasons are waiting

And the seasons are changing

With the madness and low self opinion I

Have on myself and my peers

And decisions are wasted

And the bars on my cages

Drifting closer together, making harder to see

The ways to the truth
