I close my eyes for a moment, step away from the edge
Deep inside my mind
Of all the things I ever wanted now is frozen in a block of time
You can't wash my sins away
I trace the outline of your face in a faded photograph I can't replace
In an empty room surrounded by the dark, there is no light- it's my tomb
I can still hear your voice say
You can't wash my sins away
No absolution granted this day
Feed the beast within my head
My words fall upon deaf ears
So far away from myself
Feed the beast within my head
You can't wash my sins away
No absolution granted this day
You nailed it to the wall, it cast a shadow of your soul across the floor
And if I ever questioned God or love and heaven above, you know I still do
You can't wash my sins away
No absolution granted this day
Feed the beast within my head
Or let it go instead
So far away from myself
Feed the beast within my head
