[Verse 1]
I can see reflections, drifting into space
Always through a mirror, never face to face
I ask another question - the words disintegrate

[Chorus]
The absence of presence fills the air
I know you're here, but you're not really there

[Verse 2]
Blinding bright projections crash against the wall
I can't get your attention, no matter how loudly I call
Reaching for connection, to break the silent stare

[Chorus]
The absence of presence fills the air
I know you're here, but you're not really there

[Bridge]
Imagine we broke through
The noise of our creation
And found the missing pieces
This moment, kept alive
In suspended animation
And finally completed
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I can hear the echoes, as they reverberate
I turn to chase the sound again, but I'm just a step too late
I can still remember the way it resonates

[Chorus]
The presence of absence disappears
I know you're there, but you're not really here
