Muse

Sing for Absolution

From Absolution2003

Written by Chris Wolstenholme, Dominic Howard, Matt Bellamy

Lyrics

Sing for Absolution

Lips are turning blue A kiss that can't renew I only dream of you My beautiful Tiptoe to your room A starlight in the gloom I only dream of you And you never knew Sing for absolution I will be singing And falling from your grace, ooh

There's nowhere left to hide In no one to confide The truth burns deep inside And will never die Lips are turning blue A kiss that can't renew I only dream of you My beautiful Sing for absolution I will be singing And falling from your grace, hey

Sing for absolution I will be singing And falling from your grace, yeah Our wrongs remain unrectified And our souls won't be exhumed
