Absence Lyrics

Album: Listless

Lost in twilight

Amidst dead fog

Drifting

Fading, heavy words

Turn to nothingness

Futile

Disgusting, rotting in shame

Bleating, pathetic

Filth

Drag this tired vessel

Into endless night

Bleak, weary husk

Fragile, fleeting mind

Filled with loss and longing

Filled but not alive

Feeling everything and nothing

Another fucking lie

Feeling everything and nothing

Another fucking lie

Pitiful and petulant

A self-indulgent sigh

Bound, mocking hands

Weave a fabric of ash

Deluded self-hatred

Whip, scar, and lash

Shallow shaking breath fuels trembling desire

Desperately reaching, searching

Through a thick haze of frozen vision

For an answer from the cold barren night

I can’t see

The truth of these illusions

Sleepless, restless

Spectres float amongst dreamless tendrils

Grasping, aching, yearning

Greedily devouring all

Blindly groping the thick, black air

Perverted absence in spiteful emptiness

Wander in the dark

Embittered solitude

Alone, tortured

Disappear
