Lyrics Absent - Bearings

Absent

I’m not as well-put together as I’d like to have you think
Portray a character of confidence to hide these broken wings
'Cause we are not permanent, not staying here
Our bodies soon go missing
Though you’d love to stay plus find a way
And I believe you’re not sane
I bury myself right and turn the idea of life
Under every situation that just never turned out right
Lately, faintly, staring back at me
While I’m drowning in your openness
Find it hard to breathe
Try for your shore, for consistency
I’m absent, filled with hopelessness
I’m your land on sea
I slowly break but in your wake I’m feeling old
It’s such a love, I’m real enough to grab ahold of words
Oh, I feel too much, in a late night rain bring a wind so rough
It’ll move this all to a gentle hush
And I’ll in the meantime
'Cause this moment’s everything
And we love with broken wings
Lately, faintly staring back at me
While I’m drowning in your openness
Find it hard to breathe
Try for your shore, for consistency
I’m absent, filled with hopelessness
I’m your land on sea
Feel your cold ways take away my breath
'Cause I’m weak when you pay company to my burning chest
Like iron I slowly fell apart, you don’t want to see
God, I found your broken heart, take this life away from me
Lately, faintly, staring back at me
While I’m drowning in your openness
Find it hard to breathe
Try for your shore, for consistency
I’m absent, filled with hopelessness
I’m your land on sea
'Cause I’m your land on sea
I’m your land on sea
