Washing away,
Washing away,
washing away my sins today.
The water is cold,
and my skin is bare.
In this state,
pain is hardly there.

It's a feeling of recovery,
a feeling of belonging.
In my heart i need you,
but on the outside i show no longing.
I act like i'm okay,
like everything is fine,
like i don't remember that day,
the day i was shown you were never mind.
the day i left all love behind,
this is the day my heart went blind.

You walk right past me,
I display pain you can very well see.
You're so thoroughly presented,
and i act as though i'm not resented.
You eyes, your lips, your words are poisen.
It's through your heart i'm haunted,
though by it i remain unwanted.

It's the hardest thing to understand.
The most difficult to grip.
when i feel you pull from my hand,
away from love i tip.

So i pull back my hair,
and peel off my clothes.
I sink into the water,
forgetting my pose.
