lyrics

the sanctuary of absolution fails me
I will endure every gasp as a burden for eternity
searching for the utmost compassion in things that I've never earned

pity me for I'm without command
cowardice without a vision leads me to ignorance without a purpose
martyr me for nothing I could achieve
I'll bathe your ashes in the gold of christ to drown the misery

king nothing
will you salvage my soul when the time comes
king nothing
could I live up to your heart after you're gone

woe is me delivering a sermon based off exploited pieces of your flesh
sobbing into darkness
fabricating your consciousness just so I can sleep at night

I hope you never see what I've become

shower me in empathy for I'm without command
cowardice without a vision leads me to ignorance without a purpose
praise be with me for the things that I could not achieve
for only through my arrogance will I find peace of mind
on lifted time

king nothing
will you salvage my soul when the time comes
king nothing
could I live up to your heart after you're gone
