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
