Are these the right lyrics? Only by what others have written and what I can hear, it sounds more like:

'The love she sought through faltering thought' -> 'Violence a sad truth followed with a' (works with the next lines)

'I brought you here' -> 'I'll brush your hair' (possessivness through seemingly kind, loving acts)

'But salmon pink skinned memories took care of' -> 'But salmon pink skinned Mary's still caring' (religious reference to the omnibenevolent Virgin Mary perhaps, seen as some sort of holy protector?)

Aside from that, the salmon pink skin could be about the raw, dark pink way beaten or burnt skin looks, going back to the domestic violence and the harmful bleach. Perhaps the abused women looks to female religious symbols for some kind of guidance or solace?
