Absolution

I've been sitting here in silence

For what seems like a million years

I can barely see the window

Through my tears

I've been staring out the window

At a crystal winter's night

Watching as the world is blanketed white

chorus

And as the snow falls down

My heart is breaking over you

And as the snow falls down

Though I'm dying inside

I'm finding absolution

Locked in isolation

And choking on stifled air

Wracked with desperation and despair

I've been left to my own devices

Afraid of the things I've done

Stricken with disgust at what I've become

chorus

Well it's a hope beyond salvation

And it's a dream beyond desire

A leap of faith, a baptism by fire

So I've put aside my anger

And I've cast away my pain

I've lost it all, I'll learn to live again

chorus
