Absolution Lyrics by Matt Doyle, Jim Price

Bare the Album – Act 2

2008

[PRIEST, spoken]
People come to the church in times like these for answers, but I have none
Most words seem to fall empty, but I'll try
It's a horrible thing that no one should have to go through
Losing a friend, at such a young age
You know, or you should know, that he's in a better place
We'll always ask ourselves
If there was something more that could've been done
That's natural

[PETER, spoken]
Do you ask yourself that, Father?

[PRIEST, spoken]
Me?

[PETER]
He went to you for guidance
You hid behind a screen
Knowing how much empathy might mean
Did you know how much he loved?
Did you know how much he cared?
Lost in the teachings was a boy
So all alone and scared
Father, we were so in love
And that's what I find so odd
Our love was pure
And nothing else brought me closer to God

[PRIEST, spoken]
I'm sorry, Peter

[PETER, spoken]
And I forgive you, Father
