In My Absence Lyrics - Dark Tranquility

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
