In Your Absence

Was it you, or was it me All I need is clarity Anything to help me see this through I'm desperately searching for what to say What once was a dream is now reality The same pain, just a different day Going through the motions again Holding on to hope with broken hands And I'm crawling through broken glass These habits are difficult to break I don't know how much more that I can take There has to be more There has to be more than endless emptiness My fading is easier when you're by my side I no longer have to hide what's inside my mind My fading is easier when you're by my side I no longer have to hide what's inside my mind Heavier, this burden weighs on me Not knowing if you'll wait and see Was it all worth it in the end Or was it just a waste of breath Hold me close or just let go It doesn't make a difference anymore My grip on existence is withering My darkest thoughts are spiraling My fading is easier when you're by my side I no longer have to hide what's inside my mind My fading is easier when you're by my side I no longer have to hide what's inside my mind Was it all worth it in the end Or was it just a waste of breath How did it come to this This isn't progress At a loss and out of place An afterthought that is erased My fading is easier when you're by my side I no longer have to hide what's inside my mind My fading is easier when you're by my side I no longer have to hide what's inside my mind
