Make me whole again


I'm covered in filth

in the impure

skin covered in a retched disease

so water, water wash away

all the dirt and leaves

My brain is rotting

my ears are popping

the flesh falls off my skin

so water, water wash away

and make me whole again

My tears are drying

tear ducts turn to dust

numbness finally setting in

so water, water wash away

the filth from where I've been

My blood is clotting

it hurts so much

the throb that comes from inside

so water, water wash away

the marks that I can not hide

With my legs I'm standing

although I'm not in Command

they try to run anywhere elsewhere

so water, water please wash away

the memories of what happened here
