Absence - Hexsystem

It was your palms and your feet and every single thing between We were an easy thing to do, I enthused over you But melancholia, insomnia, saudade, they had me It's hard to forget I'm looking back on a time When every beat in your heart was beating for mine You had the world at your feet, and you kicked it back at me I had a hole in my heart, and you didn't have the decency to wait and see Between the devil and the deep blue sea Between the angels and infinity There is a hideaway, a place to be for me And when I'm better, you can set me free It's safe to say you were mine, a songbird to a morning sunrise And how I miss my spotless mind, I lost it to the twilight Much like our love, a songbird always flies without regret And even after everything, we perished when the sun set You had the world at your feet, and you kicked it back at me I had a hole in my heart, and you didn't have the decency to wait and see Between the devil and the deep blue sea Between the angels and infinity There is a hideaway, a place to be for me And when I'm better, you can set me free Every blind spot and every nicety I learned about your heart, I watched them perish before me

I want you to be my messenger When I am not at home I want you to speak of my great importance And to make my absence known Share your pain when you heardn't babe And You film most of all I want you to make a real big deal When you make my absence known I love You, You love me x 4 You can say what you like about me now But you dont know what you got till its gone And you cant take it back cause its too late for that \N when you making my absence known And you cant take it back cause its too late for that When you making my absence known I love You, You love me x 4 When all the ships are sailed And all the birds are flown I want you to be my messenger And to make my absence known

I can see reflections Drifting into space Always through a mirror Never face to face I ask another question The words disintegrate The absence of presence fills the air I know you're here but you're not really there 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 The absence of presence fills the air I know you're here but you're not really there Imagine we broke through The noise of our creation And found the missing pieces This moment kept alive In suspended animation And finally completed 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 The presence of absence disappears I know you're there but you're not really here

I write you letters, but I don't send them I just can't figure out how to end them I try to reach you, you're right beside me There's something missin' and we can't deny that We live together separately We don't want to fall apart But every time we kiss there's an emptiness An absence of the heart How did we lose it, why did this happen When did we take it all for granted We sit in silence, inside we're cryin' How can we keep our love from dyin' We live together separately We don't want to fall apart But every time we kiss there's an emptiness An absence of the heart We live together separately We don't want to fall apart But every time we kiss there's an emptiness An absence of the heart We live together separately We don't want to fall apart But every time we kiss there's an emptiness An absence of the heart I write you letters, but I don't send them

Maybe I'm learning to love you less You've said your goodbyes but I haven't said mine yet I laid down in the fires and watched 'em turn blue As the cinders feel on memories of you But I'm okay now I've finally figured you out My rosy eyes are tired so I'll close 'em for now And I'm on my way out to Paradise There's a world away that's waiting for me Waves always break when you're on my mind Now the absence of you set me free You'd leave me notеs 'round the house, then you'rе gone Said things like, "I'm out, I'll be late, don't wait up" I let you keep your distance, but I hated keeping mine If you loved thee, you would learn to compromise But I'm okay now (but I'm okay) I've finally figured you out (I've finally figured you out) My rosy eyes are tired so I'll close 'em for now Close 'em for now And be on my way out to Paradise (I'm on my way out to Paradise) There's a world away that's waiting for me (I know you've been waiting) Waves always break when you're on my mind (always break, when you're on my mind) Now the absence of you set me free And I'm on my way out to Paradise To a world that's away waiting for me Waves always break when you're on my mind Now the absence of you set me free Now the absence of you set me free Oh, the absence of you set me free Oh, oh Oh, oh
