Echoes of Absence

[Verse] Dark days roll by like thunder Street lights flicker like lost souls Empty echoes in my mind Can't escape the shadow binds [Verse] Voices in the night draw near City screams but I can't hear Walk the alleys lost and scared Life's a haze when you ain't there [Chorus] When you're not around I fade Colors drain to black and gray Every step an aching void Only ghosts and endless noise [Verse] Drowning in a sea of doubt Walls close in can't climb out Time's a thief that steals my light In your absence endless night [Bridge] Broken mirrors shards of past Memories that never last Haunted heart can't find its way Waiting for a brighter day [Chorus] When you're not around I fade Colors drain to black and gray Every step an aching void Only ghosts and endless noise
