Absolution
Jeremiah Smith
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
