Purge - Allie X

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

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
