Lyrics

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
