Absolution

Sunlight
Burns darker than steel
When there's a demon on both shoulders
Endless
Are the trials of life I gotta face before I die
No one knows how it feels
'Til they've already been through this
Spare me empathy while in a sea of self-deceit
I slowly drown

Window
To the madness of my mind's been nailed shut
Prisoner
Of the under developed culture based on luck
Saturate the plastic trust with verbal run arounds
Eye to the keyhole, back to the wall
I might trip & fall but I won't be taken
Down

Someone grant me
Absolution
Absolution
Won't you help me
Clean my slate
Can't erase
The endless hate
It comes to me at will
As my past grows darker still

Scuffle through the debris & filth that fill the city
With the painted faces running the show downtown now
Cycles of abnormalcy force my own dependency
Onto another person that I could never be
Selfish role taking hold
I'm covered in denial from head to toe
Spare me empathy while in a sea of self-deceit I slowly drown

Grant me
Grant me
Someone grant me
Absolution
Absolution
Won't you help me
Clean my slate
Can't erase
The endless hate
It comes to me freewill
As my past grows darker still

With money in this country you can get away with murder

Absolution
Absolution
Absolution
Absolution
