Coming Clean

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!
