Absence as a Presence

Open dead end sea

Nothing calling me to sail

Could always sink instead

I think of where I've been

And it seems to be a dream

From someone else's head

False ground swaying beneath me

Another day I wake up just to breathe

I'm absent

For fractions of a feeling

I beckon the storm

The fight is still the only thing I know

So I keep on believing

I've got this under control

In the sky there's a ceiling

That crushes me wherever I go

Guess I'll keep moving on

For within the fire grows

In the smoke there's a song

That calls to me wherever I go

You'll never feel at home

It's a place you're never gonna know

In recovered dreams

In the world that we believed

Unforgettable

In the midnight sun

Two lovers struggling to breathe

Under their own weight

I've got this under control
