No, Poison me to say farewell
And lingers through the sleepless nights
A trail of days that end in tears


But I can never be there
The rush of hours,

That never seem to end
My life to tell? You cannot comprehend


I am the absentee

I know you're out there searching tonight,

I'm right here
Another day and I cannot see through your eyes,
I'm right here


How could I have known
What's receding in your thoughts

Wish that I could listen to what always beats inside
For reaching diffidence,
Reaching out


But I can never be there,
How can you think,

That I will understand
When your words just go around what your heart truly wants


I am the absentee

I know you're out there searching tonight,

I'm right here
Another day and I cannot see through your eyes,
I'm right here


I want to tell you,
You're the exploding light,

How everything is visible,
Moments before the dark


I am never, never there

I know you're out there searching tonight,

Another day and I'm not there

Thrust with nails comfort, anxiety and pain

Through spells or anger, confusion and defeat
I wish you'd see me here in front of you,
But I am not here


I know your out there searching tonight, I'm right here
Another day and I cannot see though your eyes


I know your out there,
But I'm right here

Another day and I cannot see though your eyes,
Lead me right
