Lyrics
The sanctuary of absolution fails me
The place of forgiveness and redemption is not helping me.
I will endure every gasp as a burden for eternity
I will endure each struggle as a lifelong burden.
Searching for the utmost compassion in things that I've never earned
Seeking compassion in things I haven't rightfully earned.
Pity me for I'm without command
Pity me because I lack control or authority.
Cowardice without a vision leads me to ignorance without a purpose
Fear and lack of direction lead me to ignorance and purposelessness.
Martyr me for nothing I could achieve
Consider me a martyr despite achieving nothing significant.
I'll bathe your ashes in the gold of christ to drown the misery
I will cover your ashes in religious symbolism to cope with sorrow.
King nothing
Referring to oneself as a king of nothing, suggesting emptiness.
Will you salvage my soul when the time comes?
Asking if there will be salvation for the soul when the time comes.
King nothing
Reiterating the notion of being a king of nothing.
Could I live up to your heart after you're gone?
Questioning if one can live up to someone's heart after they're gone.
Woe is me delivering a sermon based off exploited pieces of your flesh
Expressing sorrow while delivering a sermon using exploited remains.
Sobbing into darkness
Crying in the darkness, overwhelmed by emotions.
Fabricating your consciousness just so I can sleep at night
Creating a false sense of consciousness to find solace in sleep.
I hope you never see what I've become
Wishing that the person never sees the undesirable transformation.
Shower me in empathy for I'm without command
Seeking empathy as there is a lack of control or authority.
Cowardice without a vision leads me to ignorance without a purpose
Fear and lack of direction leading to ignorance and purposelessness again.
Praise be with me for the things that I could not achieve
Asking for acknowledgment for things that were not achieved.
For only through my arrogance will I find peace of mind
Finding peace of mind through arrogance, a paradoxical idea.
On lifted time
Referring to a time of revelation or enlightenment.
King nothing
Reiteration of being a king of nothing.
Will you salvage my soul when the time comes?
Asking if the soul will be saved when the time comes.
King nothing
Repeating the questioning of living up to someone's heart.
Could I live up to your heart after you're gone?
Continuation of questioning the ability to live up to someone's heart.
