Clean
by Rorschach Test
Clean -
To walk the earth unblemished,
To stand before GOD and wear white.
Dreams -
Unreachable and bitter.
The fantasies of normal life
I once embraced
Dissolve and seem so far away.
Don't touch me I'm unclean
Bleed -
And wash me in your fountain.
The leopard never licks awy his spots.
Scream -
For anyone who knows the way
To get back to a place that's sane.
It seems so out of focus
And so far away.
Don't touch me I'm unclean
I used to say the words each day
To keep the demons on the outside,
But now my mind is a four-lane freeway
And it's rush hour all the time.
Morning comes like my worst enemy,
Unannounced and dressed to kill.
Sunshine holds me down upon the ground
And strips me of my will.
Birdsong becomes a nightmare orchestra,
Announcing all my sins.
Freight trains and submarines
Push through my brains
And blood until it thins.
Don't touch me I'm unclean
But it all seems worth it
When I'm underneath the fog
And lights and appetites
Of everyone that's just like me,
Unable to be clean.
