"Absence Persistent" lyrics - INVENT ANIMATE

You bring the rain, obscuring view
Just to feel the downpour
So stay inside, in the royal blue
The silence you longed for

[Chorus:]
Hold my hand as we spin
Fall apart in disarray
We're painted in candle light
Stare into the end as we break away

I can't heal what's left unseen
Leaving dead roots to grow beneath
Buried soul, the day that I left you there
Is the day I betrayed my grace
To rot on my own

[Bridge:]
Night to take the day
Time was supposed to mend
Not to waste away
How to grow became a faith I know
Yet nothing that I was destined to find

[Pre-Chorus:]
The silence you longed for

[Chorus:]
Hold my hand as we spin
Fall apart in disarray
We're painted in candle light
Stare into the end as we break away

[Post-Chorus:]
Anguish is the final step
When the face you loathe is finally torn

[Outro:]
Night to take the day
Time was supposed to mend
Not to waste away
How to grow became a faith I know
Yet nothing that I was destined to find
