I closed my eyes and hoped 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, mmm
I can't purge you, mmm
I can't purge you, mmm
I can't purge you, mmm
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 I can force out
Every word you told me left such a rancid taste in my mouth
I can't purge you, mmm
I can't purge you, mmm
I can't purge you, mmm
I can't purge you, mmm
But I still feel your hands 'round my neck
You went away, but all of your chains
And ropes holding me stayed in place
Be washed and clean again
I will never know
Know the innocence
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, mmm
I can't purge you, mmm
I can't purge you, mmm
Your voice an alarm in my head
How could you be gone for six months
And still take the air from my lungs?
Be washed and clean again
I will never know
Know the innocence
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, mmm
I can't purge you, mmm
I can't purge you, mmm
