Wash Away

Lyrical Iowa 2024
October 2024

pages of me

The clean water washes away the dirt
And all the toxic words you spew at me
The lies get sucked into the drain

Your evil stories beat me down again and again
Making me question everything
I gave you nothing but love and this is how you repay me

The burning water erases you from my life
One day you'll get yours
Then everyone will finally see the truth

You destroyed all my connections
Over what?
Jealousy, greed, unhappiness, selfishness

Whatever the reason, it doesn't matter anymore
I'm putting you behind me
Finally taking the power away from you

I scrub harder
The blood between us disappears forever
Nothing remains but I'm still here
