Absolution (Pain Is Temporary)

[00:04.94] Yeah, dreaming of that distant land
[00:10.56] Well
[00:14.01] Well, I guess there's no better time for me to start this
[00:19.66] My name is Cappo, and this is absolution
[00:24.88] Tired of seeking your approval
[00:27.56] But they tell me, seek and I will find
[00:30.46] Until I'm tripping on loopholes and scruples
[00:33.33] With no open space to clear my mind
[00:36.14] Sick and tired of going round in circles
[00:38.70] Burning my bridges and cutting ties
[00:41.68] So no more searching on what's someone else's
[00:44.55] I only concentrate on what is mine
[00:47.50] Yeah
[00:47.64] Using my supreme focus
[00:49.48] I'm conducting rivers of blood and seas of locusts
[00:52.31] I'm connecting up with these drums
[00:53.97] Under deep hypnosis
[00:54.95] Until I'm dishing up this kenosis in even doses
[00:58.67] Rescheduling my future 'til it's filled with purpose
[01:01.43] Leap of faith from underneath these serpents
[01:03.66] And in the dark I'm keeping up my searches
[01:05.64] Trying hard to scratch beneath the surface
[01:07.72] From the fire to the frying pan
[01:09.65] I keeps it neutral
[01:10.61] With no reply I'm sick and tired of seeking your approval
[01:13.50] So from now, I draw this line up on the sand I'm standing
[01:16.42] And make a vow regardless of how
[01:18.23] The dice is landing
[01:19.23] Knowing this could be my last chance for you to hear this
[01:21.90] I drop these lyrics like the sacred ashes of my parents
[01:24.79] So from here I leave these messages in crystal clearance
[01:27.67] And the task that you face, is to look past appearance
[01:31.06] Yeah
[01:31.80] Pain is temporary
[01:35.53] But they tell me not to speak my mind
[01:38.15] I think they'd rather I just keep my head down
[01:41.06] But I will tell them now
[01:42.10] I've been steady building
[01:44.48] Stacking bricks up for my children
[01:47.50] Tryna teach them what is gospel truth
[01:49.70] That it can only make you stronger
[01:50.76] If it doesn't kill them
[01:52.35] Yeah
[01:52.90] See, I've been steady building
[01:55.79] Filling glasses just to spill them
[01:58.54] And if somebody close to you now is grappling with them demons
[02:01.41] You should tell them that you feel them
[02:03.57] Yeah
[02:04.19] And pain is temporary
[02:06.48] Cus this is just a moment in time
[02:08.09] While I'm moving past them hidden obstacles on incline
[02:11.14] Growing outwards from the inside
[02:13.21] Practicing a way to find a place of calm until I'm hearing wind chimes
[02:17.91] This is just a moment in time
[02:19.59] Steady moving up and over obstacles on incline
[02:22.91] If I can make it past them dead ends and stop signs
[02:25.02] Then I can find my way to reach a place amongst them pines
[02:28.20] Just a day and night
[02:29.74] Take it my stride, let me stay upright
[02:32.65] This is not advice, when it's layered right
[02:35.81] I'm taking my time, let me play it right
[02:38.12] Pain is temporary
[02:39.72] (Just a day and night)
[02:40.76] Pain is temporary
[02:42.13] (In my stride, let me stay upright)
[02:43.66] Pain is temporary
[02:44.40] (This is not advice, when it's layered right)
[02:46.60] Pain is temporary
[02:47.35] (I'm taking my time, for this ray of light)
[02:52.09] Dreaming of that distant place
[02:54.20] When I no longer care about mistakes
[02:57.25] When I'll be looking back and laughing
[03:00.14] Knowing how I made that great escape
[03:03.04] Dreaming of that distant land
[03:05.94] When I'm per annum making 60 grand
[03:08.74] So no more looking back in anger
[03:11.39] Settle down and then invest in land
[03:13.44] (Just a day and night)
[03:14.71] Pain is temporary
[03:15.57] (In my stride, let me stay upright)
[03:17.63] Pain is temporary
[03:18.43] (This is not advice, when it's layered right)
[03:20.34] Pain is temporary
[03:21.17] (I'm taking my time, let me play it right)
[03:23.18] Pain is temporary
[03:28.69]
