lyrics

I will cleanse my home
I gonna scrub my soul
I'm done being on trial
I left my heart in the courthouse
And I'm gonna burn it all down

You must have heard the rattle in my words
Maybe I was the ripple in your tea
And you couldn't give anymore, you'd given up on me
You put your faith in the birds because they know when to leave

I will draw the hottest bath of bleach and gasoline
And hope that my thoughts of you drown before I do
And I hope that my thoughts of you drown before I do
And by midnight
I will murder
Every memory of you

I dare those skinny detectives and all their accesories
to interrogate my imagination, to question my memories
I will shred your letters in oncoming traffic
I will bury your bracelets below metal detectors

I will draw the hottest bath of bleach and gasoline
And hope that my thoughts of you drown before I do
And I hope that my thoughts of you drown before I do
And by midnight
I will murder
Every memory of you
And I will cleanse my home
