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 bears

Only bones of false 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 have 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 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
