Absent Elements



Everyone plays along

Get them giving or steal the life they?re breathing

They?ll grow sickened

Take their secret codes and signals

Discover all they know

Keep up the pace now until it all dries up



You?ll never find out now

That all these absent elements

Build your comfortable defense stronger still

Like an emptiness



Way too early to consider losing

Vacant staring may discover some reflection

Or may discover none

Just think what you?ve done

And watch it all add up



Like an emptiness you?ll never fill
