Avert Your Eyes - Absence Lyrics




I despise the day you were taken away.

What you gave,
You didn't gain.
Despoiled from birth before you gave it all away.
You never had a welcome heart,
It's no surprise because they tore it all apart.

The floor is falling,
Underneath my feet.
Because your presence,
Is what I need.
My lungs colliding,
Underneath the weight.
Losing you has made me so afraid.

You may sometimes wish that you were me.
But after sundown you see what lies beneath.
Your holding absence breaks in disbelief.
But then reality kicks me in the teeth.

I've paid my debt to my demons,
They still pull me in.
Their presence chills me to the bone,
But they will never be enough to fill the void.

I can't wait,
For the day,
Death is coming back for me.

No better way to say goodbye,
Than to sing this broken lullaby.
