Absence of Redemption

**Verse 1** I'm a fake, guilty of all my sins Facing my crimes, where do I begin? All I do is cause pain and strife Revealing the truth will cut like a knife **Chorus** Take it all away, strip me bare This is my payment, I don't care Take my life, just end it now Redemption's a joke, anyhow **Verse 2** I'll ask you to forget all the shit I did and said Don’t expect an apology, I'm all empty for it Your voice just drags me down I can't keep going, I'll drown No more secrets, no more lies No more regrets, no more disguise **Guitar Solo** **Verse 3** I fell from grace, I'm replacing the hate And I'm transforming it in something worse, I won't escape Empty inside, night after night Pretending it's alright But I'm tired to fight, I’m done with this, It's too late to save me Just leave me now
