Absentia

Misdirected and misguided
when I close my eyes at night
visions of light disappear
and the nightmare overwhelms my mind and body
Paralyzed inside, as I can't even feel my face
Disregarding my own existence
as I drown in the abyss
I am nothing, just a shade of mortality
Take a good look in the mirror
and you will see only flesh
but take a look inside yourself
and you will see a true darkness
Misdirected and misguided
when I close my eyes at night
Misdirected and misguided
when I close my eyes at night
visions of light disappear
My vision blurs as I look into my own soul
My body yearns for feeling as it has grown numb
Oh how the memories of being young
weigh on the mind and the thoughts of this life
Wishing we could reverse cycles of time
Living in moments that are from the past
My vision blurs as I look into my own soul
My body yearns for feeling as it has grown numb
Oh how the memories of being young
weigh on the mind and the thoughts of this life
Wishing we could reverse cycles of time
Living in moments that are from the past
Oh how the memories of being young
weigh on the mind and the thoughts of this life
Wishing we could reverse cycles of time
Living in moments that are from the past
I see in the dark of light
One moment in time is forever
In the heart
Building pieces of what make us who we are
I see in the dark of light
One moment in time is forever
