Absolution Lyrics - Singles - The Academy Is...

case is closed, you're back into focus 

the jury's out, you're closing in 

this battle of mind over matters spent 

this scar, this scar is not permanent 

choices or chances, or what sinks in water 

your secret's out, what you held within 

you've found your plague, your cancer, stop 

i bet you've got something clever 

this house is caving in 

your last words, caught trembling 

decisions, make decisions for your fate 

your choice is the chance that you have to take 

burn, stop, your time is up 

you've found all of the answers 

so take a breath and end this chapter 

i'll bring the fire if you bring the water 

face to the grave, will the killer be saved 

saved by the same hands, the same hands that frame life 

hero be safe from the killer you made 

saved by the same hands, the same hands that frame life 

case is closed, you're back into focus 

the jury's out, you're closing in 

this battle of mind over matters spent 

this scar, this scar, rising the judge screams 

"the courtroom is in order, you bring the victim, and we choose the martyr!" 

taking time to make it up, i can't hear you scream 

this house is caving in 

your last words, caught trembling 

decisions, make decisions for your fate 

your choice is the chance that you have to take 

burn, stop, your time is up 

you've found all of the answers 

so take a breath and end this chapter 

i'll bring the fire if you bring the water 

face to the grave, will the killer be saved 

saved by the same hands, the same hands that frame life 

hero be safe from the killer you made 

saved by the same hands, the same hands that frame life 

from this point on hear no evil, speak no tongues 

and the rhythms of past lovers come together or not at all 

from this point on hear no evil, speak no tongues 

and the riddles don't buy onto one 

burn quick, sink slow, your heart grows colder than regret 

your burden stone 

your heart grows colder, stillbeat, weak, and frozen 

face to the grave, will the killer be saved 

saved by the same hands, the same hands that frame life 

hero be safe from the killer you made 

saved by the same hands, the same hands that frame life
