Absolution

I see your face when I close my eyes, I'll be chasing memories til' the day, Til' the day I die. I took all those years away from you. Can't ever forget, The years you gave to me. All waking moments, quantified and spent. Pushing through the thick, Unrelenting vicious reflections. Left with conscience stretching razor thin. The cries are deafening, Keep the silence, Keep the strain within you. Contentment fading and fleeting, Thrown away (Thrown away) Reveries lost in a wishing well. Time can never heal the pain, (Of our mistakes) We feed the fire that forged the chains, (The chains of) Helplessness, co-dependent purgatory, Reveries lost in a wishing well Ever reaching for the hand that, Pulls us away, Just let it go, just let it. I took all those years away from you. Can't forget the years you gave to me. Faded, obscure and faded. Mesmerized by the brazier flame, I walk away, I turn my back. Relinquish everything that lead me astray. I'm convinced that you've worn your welcome. I turn my back, I will be set, Set free. Time can never heal the pain, We feed the fire that forged the chains, (The chains of) Helplessness, co-dependent purgatory, Reveries lost in a wishing well Ever reaching for the hand that, Pulls us away, Just let it go, just let it. I see your face when I close my eyes, I'll be chasing memories til' the day, Til' the day I die.
