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
