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
