Absence Lyrics

I can feel my absence is crushing you inside
I can hear the pain in all the words you say
They cut so deep the wounds don't even bleed
Blinded by resentment that tortures me

Can't bear the pain I have put you through
As I fear for the beast that cripples you
Stolen away like a thief in the night
Broken each day
Try to forget but it won't go away


Another empty minute an endless stream of days
The time that never seems to move is driving me insane
Another passing hour a sentence I disdain
Begging the faceless shadows to release me from this place

Can't bear the pain I have put you through
As I fear for the beast that cripples you
Stolen away like a thief in the night
Broken each day
Try to forget but it won't go away

The time has come for me to be set free
Anxiety it overtakes me I'm paralyzed right through
The distance in between our fate is my never-ending doom

Because I'm stolen away like a thief in the night
Because I'm broken each day
Try to forget but it won't go away
