Seeking salvation but he knows not where to begin
Finding damnation indelibly stained by your sin
An infernal lust that you simply refused to restrain
An eternal trust replaced by indelible stain
Looks to a sky that's unclear
Prayers at night fall on deaf ears
Makes an excuse for his tears
While trying to swallow his fears
Who could he tell, what to say
Stick to the flock, never stray
The answer is always to pray
But prayers simply won't take away...
The pain
And feelings of shame
It's insane dodging blame
You left the indelible stain
Seeking salvation
Finding damnation
Even when secrets get out
Calls up someone with the clout
Who simply can silence the shout
And secretly ferry you out
To a new town with new prey
Who have no idea what to say
So you touch them and tell them to pray
But prayers simply won't take away...
The pain
And feelings of shame
It's insane dodging blame
You left the indelible stain
Seeking salvation
Finding damnation
Crippled by the shame
It's indefensible, marked by indelible stain
How many years?
How many tears?
How many times?
How many crimes?
There is no absolution
There is no absolution
No
No
Absolution
How many years?
How many tears?
How many times?
How many crimes?
Seeking salvation but he knows not where to begin
Finding damnation indelibly stained by your sin
An infernal lust that you simply refused to restrain
An eternal trust replaced by indelible stain
Replaced by indelible stain
Replaced by indelible stain
Replaced by indelible stain
The stain is indelible

I love this record, the vibe hits just right. Air Not Meant For Us is currently fighting with a couple other albums to land in my top spot for 2023. Brandon Glasgow
