In the Absence of Sun - Duncan Sheik

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

Something done bit me on the back of the neck And I got a strange feelin' ain't seen nothin' yet Well my face is on fire - sweat burnin' my eyes Misery's coming and i'm fixing to die I'll be eatin' humble pie when the sun goes down Pullin' up my pants take a look around I can see 100 miles to the north and south Can't make enough spit just to wet my mouth I'm alone Nobody standin' by me I'm feelin' dry as the breeze Nowhere to fill my canteen My bones are laughing at me You can call me well done Nothin's rusting my guns In the the valley of the sun The river stopped flowin' just a runnin' sand And the devil starts laughin' this is his land Blisters start to bleed up and down my hands Hyde wearin' tough enough for takin' a brand Rats are gettin' hungry and I'm lookin' brown Ground's too hot so I can't sit down Rattlesnakes are twitchin' and a wigglin' away My last drop of water - this is one bad day Navarrone Should of been there by now 'Cuz Texas Pete is in town He's roundin' up all my cows Feel like I'm lettin' him down My horse is dead on the ground She couldn't handle the run In the valley of the sun And I ain't havin' no fun In the the valley of the sun

People always asking me "How's it goin' man?" If I try to answer that They don't understand It takes too long Oh, it's all been going on way too long No matter how good it looks From the outside You never know how bad it gets On the inside Say I'm a victim of a bad attitude Why am I always looking a better mood? I know about all the saints and sages But it don't line up, it don't line up I read the books all the heaviest pages But it don't line up With my experience Moment to moment to moment to moment To moment experience Moojiji, Moojiji Show me how to be Sadhguru, Sadhguru How do you do? I'm done with living like yesterday I'll be on my way I always lived with the best intentions So it don't line up, it don't line up I've paid my dues and I paid attention So it don't line up, it don't line up And still I have all the apprehensions I'm so wound up, so wound up I should be off to a new dimension But I'm still bound up in my experience I'm ready, ready for real Ready to seal the deal I'm ready, ready for real To get down on my knees and kneel I'm ready, ready for real Ready for the big reveal I'm ready, ready for real To jump off, jump off, this wheel I'm ready, ready for real Ready to seal the deal I'm ready, ready for real To get down on my knees and kneel I'm ready, ready for real Ready for the big reveal I'm ready, ready for real To jump off, jump off, this wheel Oh-oh ready for the big reveal Yeah-yeah
