Eyes that meet to say farewell And linger 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 What life has dealt 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 what preceded your own thoughts Wish that I could listen to what only speaks inside Every raging dissonance Each jarring note But I could never be there
How could you think that I would understand When words just go around what the 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, Of 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 of conflict Anxiety and pain Through spells of anger, confusion and defeat I wish you'd see me here in front of you, But I am not here
I know you're 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
