Atone
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
Trying 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
Trying 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
Trying to find a way to atone
Why?
To be judged, stand and deliver
Half-starved, choke on the splinters
Have mercy, can you be the giver?
To speak my cursed name
