Coming Clean - Attalus

These waves are waking me

New life is breaking through

Here in the wake of me

I find I’m in the wake of you

I give the life I cannot keep

To gain the life I cannot lose

Currents of mercy speak

The word I can’t refuse

Coming clean

It’s not an easy escape

But it won’t be

A mistake

So sick of building my life

On only boards and nails

For what is man upon the Sea

Just a torn and ragged sail?

I have one thing left to say

When all other words have failed

God!

My God, have mercy!

I cast myself into the gale

Coming Clean

It’s not an easy escape

But I can see

The Sea will have me either way

Coming Clean

I’m bleeding but I’m being remade

Like every seed

New life begins within the grave

Your waves are breaking these walls

I built in my pride

Your grace is shaking this wretched mast

I call my life

You wash this world away

Wash this world away

Wash this world away

It’s a splinter in your side

Your waves are breaking these walls

I built in my pride

Your grace is shaking this wretched mast

I call my life

You wash this world away

Wash this world away

Wash this world away

You wash this world away

Wash this world away

Wash this world away

Oh, You wash my world away

Wash my world away

Wash my world away

It’s a splinter in your side

Coming clean

It’s not an easy escape

But I can see

The gain is worth the price that I paid

Coming Clean

I’m bleeding but I’m being remade

Here in the Sea

The worst of me is fading away

Whoa!

Oh!

I’m coming

I’m coming clean

Whoa!

Oh!
