Absolution (Pain Is Temporary)

Yeah, dreaming of that distant land

Well
Well, I guess there's no better time for me to start this
My name is Cappo, and this is absolution

Tired of seeking your approval
But they tell me, seek and I will find
Until I'm tripping on loopholes and scruples
With no open space to clear my mind
Sick and tired of going round in circles
Burning my bridges and cutting ties
So no more searching on what's someone else's
I only concentrate on what is mine

Yeah
Using my supreme focus
I'm conducting rivers of blood and seas of locusts
I'm connecting up with these drums
Under deep hypnosis
Until I'm dishing up this kenosis in even doses
Rescheduling my future 'til it's filled with purpose
Leap of faith from underneath these serpents
And in the dark I'm keeping up my searches
Trying hard to scratch beneath the surface
From the fire to the frying pan
I keeps it neutral
With no reply I'm sick and tired of seeking your approval
So from now, I draw this line up on the sand I'm standing
And make a vow regardless of how
The dice is landing
Knowing this could be my last chance for you to hear this
I drop these lyrics like the sacred ashes of my parents
So from here I leave these messages in crystal clearance
And the task that you face, is to look past appearance

Yeah
Pain is temporary
But they tell me not to speak my mind
I think they'd rather I just keep my head down
But I will tell them now

I've been steady building
Stacking bricks up for my children
Tryna teach them what is gospel truth
That it can only make you stronger
If it doesn't kill them

Yeah
See, I've been steady building
Filling glasses just to spill them
And if somebody close to you now is grappling with them demons
You should tell them that you feel them
Yeah
And pain is temporary

Cus this is just a moment in time
While I'm moving past them hidden obstacles on incline
Growing outwards from the inside
Practicing a way to find a place of calm until I'm hearing wind chimes

This is just a moment in time
Steady moving up and over obstacles on incline
If I can make it past them dead ends and stop signs
Then I can find my way to reach a place amongst them pines

Just a day and night
Take it my stride, let me stay upright
This is not advice, when it's layered right
I'm taking my time, let me play it right

Pain is temporary
(Just a day and night)
Pain is temporary
(In my stride, let me stay upright)
Pain is temporary
(This is not advice, when it's layered right)
Pain is temporary
(I'm taking my time, for this ray of light)

Dreaming of that distant place
When I no longer care about mistakes
When I'll be looking back and laughing
Knowing how I made that great escape
Dreaming of that distant land
When I'm per annum making 60 grand
So no more looking back in anger
Settle down and then invest in land

(Just a day and night)
Pain is temporary
(In my stride, let me stay upright)
Pain is temporary
(This is not advice, when it's layered right)
Pain is temporary
(I'm taking my time, let me play it right)
Pain is temporary
