Absolution Lyrics

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
