Atonement Lyrics


Years in torment, no atonement, locked inside my head

Born the wrong way, on the wrong day, never to be saved

False decisions, false derisions messed my DNA

The rage I held up, the hate I closed up all came out to play

Body lyin, dead and dyin', luck was never there

I watched all men, life on them, rich and joy and wealth

I tried to fit in, tried to believe truths I knew so well

(But) the dark in me, broke through me, swallowed my whole self

I’ll have to beat this back inside

Save you from the storm that’s in my mind

This green rage is ready to explode

So it’s better to just leave me alone
