The Academy Is...:Absolution
From LyricWiki
This song is performed by The Academy Is... and appears on the album The Academy (2004).
Case is closed, you're back into focus
The jury's out, you're closing in
This battle of mind over matter's spent
This scar, this scar is not permanent
Choices or chances, or what sinks in water
Your secret's out, what you held within
You've found your plague, your cancer, stop
I bet you've got something clever
This house is caving in
Your last words, caught trembling
Decisions, make decisions for your fat
Your choice is the chance that you have to take
Burn, stop, your time is up
You've found all of the answers
So take a breath and end this chapter
I'll bring the fire if you bring the water
Face to the grave, will the hero be saved?
Saved by the same hands, the same hands that frame life
Hero be safe from the killer you made
Saved by the same hands, the same hands that frame life
Case is closed, you're back into focus
The jury's out, your closing in
This battle of mind over matter's spent
This scar, this scar, rising the judge screams
"The courtroom is in order, you bring the victim
And we choose the martyr!"
Taking time to make it happen, I can't hear you scream
This house is caving in
Your last words, caught trembling
Decisions, make decisions for your fate
Your choice is the chance that you have to take
Burn, stop, your time is up
You've found all of the answers
So take a breath and end this chapter
I'll bring the fire if you bring the water
Face to the grave, will the hero be saved?
Saved by the same hands, the same hands that frame life
Hero be safe from the killer you made
Saved by the same hands, the same hands that frame life
From this point on hear no evil, speak non tongues
And the rhythms of past lovers come together or not at all
From this point on hear no evil, speak non tongues
And the riddles don't buy on to one
Burn quick, sink slow, your heart grows colder than regret
Your burden stone, your heart grows colder, stillbeat, weak, and frozen
Face to the grave, will the hero be saved
Saved by the same hands, the same hands that frame life
Hero be safe from the killer you made
Saved by the same hands, the same hands that frame life
Face to the grave, will the hero be saved
Saved by the same hands, the same hands that frame life
Hero be safe from the killer you made
Saved by the same hands, the same hands that frame life
The jury's out, you're closing in
This battle of mind over matter's spent
This scar, this scar is not permanent
Choices or chances, or what sinks in water
Your secret's out, what you held within
You've found your plague, your cancer, stop
I bet you've got something clever
This house is caving in
Your last words, caught trembling
Decisions, make decisions for your fat
Your choice is the chance that you have to take
Burn, stop, your time is up
You've found all of the answers
So take a breath and end this chapter
I'll bring the fire if you bring the water
Face to the grave, will the hero be saved?
Saved by the same hands, the same hands that frame life
Hero be safe from the killer you made
Saved by the same hands, the same hands that frame life
Case is closed, you're back into focus
The jury's out, your closing in
This battle of mind over matter's spent
This scar, this scar, rising the judge screams
"The courtroom is in order, you bring the victim
And we choose the martyr!"
Taking time to make it happen, I can't hear you scream
This house is caving in

Saved by the same hands, the same hands that frame life
Face to the grave, will the hero be saved
Saved by the same hands, the same hands that frame life
Hero be safe from the killer you made
Saved by the same hands, the same hands that frame life
