The Laundress

[Intro]

I'm getting good, I'm getting good at this

Washing off the blemishes

Allow my mind some rest

Clean up the mess

The laundress

The laundress

I'm getting good, I'm getting good at this

Washing off the blemishes

Allow my mind some rest

Clean up the mess

The laundress

The laundress

The laundress

[Verse 1]

Born fresh, cotton scent

Halcyon days well spent

Misfit, nervousness

Playing havoc in my head

Move North, move East

Change the setting of thе beast

A day will come

Awaken consciousnеss

Really own up to myself

A babe out in the woods

Embrace my womanhood

I write to reinstate

That which I disassociate

A love is spun

[Chorus]

I'm getting good, I'm getting good at this

Washing off the blemishes

Allow my mind some rest

Clean up the mess, de-stress

I'm getting good, I'm getting good at this

Washing off the blemishes

Allow my mind some rest

Clean up the mess

[Bridge]

What the hell have I told you?

You must start with respecting yourself

Then you'll begin to heal

You are the laundress

You can steep the stains

Watch them dissolve

Bathe in the resolve

And there'll always be a trace

But you'll feel the pain subside

[Chorus]

I'm getting good, I'm getting good at this

Washing off the blemishes

Allow my mind some rest

Clean up the mess, de-stress

I'm getting good, I'm getting good at this

Washing off the blemishes

Allow my mind some rest

Clean up the mess, de-stress

[Post-Chorus]

The laundress

The laundress

The laundress

The laundress

The laundress

The laundress

The laundress

The laundress

I've been going around for ages feeling sorry for myself

If I'd have just embraced my life

Not want to be somebody else

I thought they wouldn't understand me

But how could they if I never said a thing?

[Outro]

I'm getting good, I'm getting good at this

Washing off the blemishes

Allow my mind some rest

Clean up the mess, de-stress

I'm getting good, I'm getting good at this

Washing off the blemishes

Allow my mind some rest

Clean up the mess, de-stress

The laundress
