The Absence of Presence

I can see reflections
 Drifting into space
 Always through a mirror
 Never face to face
 I ask another question
 The words disintegrate
 The absence of presence fills the air
 I know you're here but you're not really there
 ♪
 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
 The absence of presence fills the air
 I know you're here but you're not really there
 ♪
 Imagine we broke through
 The noise of our creation
 And found the missing pieces
 
 This moment kept alive
 In suspended animation
 And finally completed
 ♪
 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
 The presence of absence disappears
 I know you're there but you're not really here
