Absent Lyrics - Singles - Beyond The Embrace

I breathe the absence of life 

In a part of every breath I take 

Inhaling afterthoughts 

Of ruin and regret 

So no hope remains 

As I take another glass of pain 

And I swallow knowing 

Things will stay the same 

When I see that everything 

Has gone so wrong for me 

And I wait and see 

If I can welcome back the light 

I'm following the suffering 

And the ones that never heal 

They're a part of me 

I can't leave them behind 

So I cry these acid tears 

As I weep for those like me 

The ones whose apathy 

Adheres them to this fate 

So I lie awake and the bottle 

Always calls my name 

With an offering 

That I cannot refuse 

Who will come, come to taste 

The quality of despair 

It's so sweet that I enjoy it 

Time and time again 

Is it charity that calls to me 

Selling fragments of her soul 

Is a part of me 

Foolish enough to indulge 

When the time comes 

Let the blow come quick 

And the blood run red 

I worry not, I'm already dead 

So I'll not speak my last words 

For I've already said enough 

It's painted on the walls 

So will you bleed for me 

And together we will cross the sea 

Two for the ferryman 

To take our souls across 

When I see that everything 

Has gone so wrong for me 

And I wait to see if I can 

Welcome back the light 

I'm following the suffering 

For the best parts of my life 

They're a part of me 

But I'm not the only one
