Purge

I closed my eyes and hoped to forget

But I still feel your hands 'round my neck

You went anyway, but all of your chains

And ropes holding me stayed in place

And I will never be be-washed and cleaned again

I will never know the innocence

I can't purge you from me

You're more than a poison that I can force out

Every word you told me left such a rancid taste in my mouth

I can't purge you

I can't purge you

I can't purge you

I can't purge you

A hollow promise, and a hollow bed

Your voice and love in my head

How could you be gone for six months

And still take the air from my lungs?

And I will never be be-washed and cleaned again

And I will never know the innocence

I can't purge you from me

You're more than a poison that I can force out

Every word you told me left such a rancid taste in my mouth

I can't purge you

I can't purge you

I can't purge you

I can't purge you
