Absolution Copyright 2002 Julian Shrago, Words and Music
			Ripped and torn my mind's so worn And my body aches of guilt I'm slipping deep into the darkness My life is on full tilt My integrity seems all too fractured My moral structure is breaking down I need so badly to be raptured And bury my burdens in the ground Bury my burdens in the ground...         So lay down on me         A blanket of absolution         These feelings inside me         That only time will solve This is a most painfull lesson One I wish I needn't learn I feel a twisting knife inside me A slow and sharp subconscious burn My vitrtues are my own undoing My life it desparately needs truing But I must now beat myself so bloody tender And I'll never surrender...         So lay down on me         A blanket of absolution         These feelings inside me         That only time will solve            I need the strength         To heal my mind         This conflict inside me         Breaks my heart and spine Learning to live with imperfections I know that my foundation's strong I have just come to accept That sometimes I do what is wrong My guilt tells me that I'll be found And that I shouldn't feel so lost I've found my light and taken hold My actions now profound and bold. And I don't feel so cold...         So lay down on me         A blanket of absolution         These feelings inside me         That only time will solve         I've found the strength         To heal my mind         The fruits of my life         Are ripe on the vine
