In Absentia |
| R. Williams |
| I have etched the scrolls into my skin |
| The hangman’s noose, 13 lies which cross the barrier/burial |
| There is a sin not yet commited |
| O, he of sleepless flight — be merciful |
| I have found myself lost amongst the shards |
| Of a world reduced to shadow |
| Sentenced to a lifetime in this prison |
| Well, I should have taken this omen and ran |
| Abandoned myself to secret corners |
| Instead I turned to face the day |
| Treading through the storm of the horror |
| And decay |
| How could I be so blinded |
| Cut down and so misguided? |
| Caught in deception, in deception |
| O, he of splintered sight — be merciful |
| For I know not what I do |
| I walk the road that leads to an early grave |
| As tears stream down my rigid face |
| Well, I should keep one eye turned towards heaven |
| As I drag my body through the flames |
| Instead I turned to face the day |
| Fighting with the demons I have made |
| Spilled all my hope along the way |
| It falls out, it falls dead |
| Shattered fragments, endless waves |
| O, he of sleepless nights — be merciful |
| I have found myself lost amongst the shards |
| If only I had severed ties |
| Ties that bind all my dreams to lies |
| I could have walked away from it all |
| I could have walked away from it all |
| And found that peace waits in absentia |
