Atone

Album: Brighten (2021)

  • Hounded by a feeling that I've known
    Following everywhere I go
    Falling ashes never done
    Turn to flame under the sun
    Guilty of some crime
    Gotta find a way to atone
    Gotta find a way to atone
    Tryin to find a way to atone
    Don't much care to be the other me
    One that plays the role of enemy
    Falling ashes never done
    Turn to flame under the sun
    Running out of time
    Gotta find a way to atone
    Gotta find a way to atone
    Tryin to find a way to atone
    Tenderly lay me down
    Touch my face and speak to me like a child
    I want to believe I'll never drown, can ascend
    No release or reprieve to be found
    Now seldom seen on the run
    Aren't both sides the wrong end of a gun
    Falling ashes never done
    Turn to flame under the sun
    Somehow crossed a line
    Gotta find a way to atone
    Gotta find a way to atone
    Tryin' to find a way to atone
    Why
    To be judged stand and deliver
    Half starved choke on the splinters
    Have mercy could you be the giver
    To speak my cursed name Writer/s: Jerry Cantrell
