Absent

This is where it started and this is where it ends
And I can still see the bruises on our knees and the scars at the back of our hands
Familiar faces, now there's no one left
But their voice still echoes through the empty halls and resonates inside of your chest

The streets are empty like the souls of the people who lived here
But there's more to this than you'll ever see
The space between you and me

All the places, looked far and wide
But I still stayed true to myself and kept you at the back of my mind
I always look back when we were young
You remind me of the things that really matter but you know they can't come back around

The streets are empty like the souls of the people who lived here
But there's more to this than you'll ever see
The space between the houses of the ones who are gone now
Was once full of their childhood dreams
But it's gone now, narrowed to the ground
