Atonement
By Micki
(Verse 1)
Take me there and leave me alone on the grass
The trees will whisper and guide me back if they must
Whether I step on petals or rocks is what’s to be
The atonement for my deeds will set me free
I deserve and reserve the right to feel it all
Not taking it back for being unable to take the fall
(Pre-chorus)
I plunge my face and hair in the water, cold as ice
Try to cleanse me for all I’ve done, yet it won’t suffice
(Chorus)
Atonement, I own it, atonement, it must be done
The songbirds leave prayers on leaves like whispers in a dream
Atonement, I own it, atonement, it must be done
Atonement, I know that I haven’t won
(Verse 2)
Leave me to be, to feel, the weight of all I’ve sinned
The forest, the trees, will help me transcend
Cleanse my soul and my past for all that I’ve done
No, I don’t feel that I or anyone else has won
Show me the way but leave me alone in the woods
The trees will whisper the way if they should
(Pre-chorus)
I plunge my face and hair in the water, cold as ice
Try to cleanse me for all I’ve done, yet it won’t suffice
(Chorus)
Atonement, I own it, atonement, it must be done
The songbirds leave prayers on leaves like whispers in a dream
Atonement, I own it, atonement, it must be done
Atonement, I know that I haven’t won
(Bridge)
Turn to stone
I befall
Or atone
My soul
To the wind
All that I give
Wipe my slate
Love to hate
Night to day
The past floats away
(Pre-chorus)
I plunge my face and hair in the water, cold as ice
Try to cleanse me for all I’ve done, yet it won’t suffice
(Chorus)
Atonement, I own it, atonement, it must be done
The songbirds leave prayers on leaves like whispers in a dream
Atonement, I own it, atonement, it must be done
Atonement, I know that I haven’t won
