Atonement

awoke with a chill and a sweat across my back

hands are shaking still with a batty gaze

and a song for the ones that done me wrong

open the door to an aimless cupola

settle the score with a stubborn blazing

song for the ones that done me wrong

 

and I'll crawl to the edge of the earth

cause I want out out

on my hands and knees with a fist full of dirt

I said I want out out

with atonement for my crimes

and atonement for my lies

and the havoc in my eyes atonement atonement

 

come out with your hands drawn

cause you look like an enemy to me

I'll bring my law

and a song for the ones that done me wrong

raze the headlights cause it's another episode

with the jaws of life take a ride

with a song for the ones that done me wrong

 

and I'll crawl to the edge of the earth

cause I want out out

on my hands and knees with a fist full of dirt

I said I want out out

with atonement for my crimes

and atonement for my lies

and the havoc in my eyes atonement atonement

for the carnage left behind

in the place I drew the lines atonement atonement
