purge

Allie X

I close my eyes and hope to forget
But I still feel your hands 'round my neck
You went away, but all of your chains
And ropes holding me stayed in place

And I will never be
Be washed and clean again
I will never know
Know the innocence

I can't purge you from me
You're more than a poison I can force out
Every word you told me
Left such a rancid taste in my mouth
I can't purge you, mm
I can't purge you, mm
I can't purge you, mm
I can't purge you, mm

A hollow promise, and a hollow bed
Your voice an alarm 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 clean again
I will never know
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, mm
I can't purge you, mm
I can't purge you, mm
I can't purge you, mm
