Playing God - Absolution Project

Try to wash the sins away

And live to fight another day

All this time the entity’s been right in front of me So secure and yet indifferent, forcing your beliefs

While you act like you are holier than thou

Inside you know it’s more than I can allow

All the things I’ve sacrificed to show that I believe

You have deceived

Breathe deep and know you’re just a man

Who’s been playing god

Can you take these words away

And learn to mean the things you say

So much time that has been wasted on what you can’t be Reinforce your own delusion, you’re no deity

While you act like you are holier than thou

Inside you know it’s more than I can allow

All the things I’ve sacrificed to show that I believe

You have deceived

Breathe deep and know you’re just a man

Who’s been playing god

But you’re not a god

I’ve lost my faith in all the words you’ve preached

And common sense tells me the price I’d pay is just too steep

These memories are splinters in my mind

Because your divinity has only blossomed into fruit, dying on the vine

While you act like you are holier than thou

Inside you know it’s more than I can allow

All the things I’ve sacrificed to show that I believe

You have deceived

Breathe deep, and know you’re just a man

Who’s been playing god

But you’re not a god
