Duff McKagan
Atone
[Verse 1]
Hounded by a feeling that I've known
Following everywhere I go

[Pre-Chorus]
Falling ashes never done
Turn to flame under the sun
Guilty of some crime

[Chorus]
Gotta find a way to atone
Gotta find a way to atone
Tryin' to find a way to atone

[Verse 2]
Don't much care to be the other me
One that plays the role of enemy

[Pre-Chorus]
Falling ashes never done
Turn to flame under the sun
Running out of time

[Chorus]
Gotta find a way to atone
Gotta find a way to atone
Tryin' to find a way to atone
[Bridge]
Tenderly lay me down
Touch my facе and speak to me like a child
I want to bеlieve I'll never drown
Can ascend
No release or reprieve to be found

[Verse 3]
Now seldom seen on the run
Aren't both sides the wrong end of a gun?

[Pre-Chorus]
Falling ashes never done
Turn to flame under the sun
Somehow crossed a line

[Chorus]
Gotta find a way to atone
Gotta find a way to atone
Tryin' to find a way to atone
Why?

[Outro]
To be judged, stand and deliver
Half-starved, choke on the splinters
Have mercy, could you be the giver?
To speak my cursed name
