作词 : Leeb, Stevens
  Unbidden shadows of you formed yesterday
 I ran away to a room here on the bay
 Interrupted life again, another new beginning
 Where the silence echoes you're no longer with me
 
 Here and now, i feel that i'm embracing freedom
 Even though i may be alone, but that's ok
 
 Through the darkness i would walk in the streets
 Confessions never seemed to provide me with a release
 Held me down and tried to cure me tried to give me reason
 But nothing could separate this burdened mind from me
 
 Here and now, i feel that i'm embracing freedom
 Even though i may be alone, but that's ok
 And looking out to a different sky will disengage me
 Absence is never the answer, i know, but it serves as my shade
 
 I do not seek and do not intend to find
 A calmer ocean or a sun that will never rise
 My world will never change and time will bring you to mythoughts
 And i'll move on and then forget you all over again
 Moving on, i can forgive you all over again
 
 Here and now, i feel that i'm embracing freedom
 Even though i may be alone, but that's ok
 And looking out onto a different sky it seems so easy
 Absence is never the answer, i know, but it serves as my shade
