The Absence of Presence

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I can see reflections, drifting into space Always through a mirror, never face to face I ask another question - the words disintegrate [Chorus] The absence of presence fills the air I know you're here, but you're not really there [Verse 2] Blinding bright projections crash against the wall I can't get your attention, no matter how loudly I call Reaching for connection, to break the silent stare [Chorus] The absence of presence fills the air I know you're here, but you're not really there [Bridge] Imagine we broke through The noise of our creation And found the missing pieces This moment, kept alive In suspended animation And finally completed [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] I can hear the echoes, as they reverberate I turn to chase the sound again, but I'm just a step too late I can still remember the way it resonates [Chorus] The presence of absence disappears I know you're there, but you're not really here
