Absolution A tomb, A monument to what was but shouldn't have been A force of mistakes that abused the soul of existence with malice Begging for This Absolution Blades caress my skin The only love I've ever felt, kissing with each pass Surrendering is invited This Absolution I beg for is met with empty eyes Rivers depleted, this world bares only bones of failed words Hymns of penitence embrace my ears This Absolution I beg for is met with a shunning blow from my own hands I am alone in this This Absolution I beg for is my damnation I know what I've done The epitaph of my own self destruction Absolution Hopelessly gazing at things I cannot control Words fail me and my tongue is cut from its shelter Breathing has become so stale This Absolution I beg for is met with a shunning blow from my own hands I am alone in this This Absolution I beg for is my damnation I know what I've done The epitaph of my own self destruction This touch of destiny, painful as it may be, is the only way I feel alive Fertilized by these failures and lies I've been scarred by plenty My eyes opened to the face of my failures I am alone I'm left in the dark A tomb, A monument to what was I'm left in the dark A force of existence with malice I am Absolved of Absolution
