Absent Without Leave - Sirenia

I can feel the eyes of your despair

Even when you’re not here

I can feel your pain within myself

It’s still keeping me down here

Life keeps on growing colder year by year

With a winter heart and my frozen tears

I stand alone to face my darkest fears

I’ve been wasting away, I’ve been fading inside

I’ve been drifting away from the lights in my life

I’ve been living in vain, living insane

I’ve been tripping down all the darkest of lanes

There’s a shadow that dwells inside your head

Within mine as well

Turns our lives into living hell

Like a curse and a spell

I’ve been drifting away from days of light

I’ve been swept away far into the night

I guess I’ll never ever make it back

I’ve been wasting away, I’ve been fading inside

I’ve been drifting away from the lights in my life

I’ve been living in vain, living insane

I’ve been tripping down all the darkest of lanes

On a morning, a summer dawn

You speak in riddles and rhymes

From a distance your life it seems

Like a frozen heart in neon dreams

I’ve been wasting away, I’ve been fading inside

I’ve been drifting away from the lights in my life

I’ve been living in vain, living insane

I’ve been tripping down all the darkest of lanes
