"I can't escape"

Blood on my hands, I can't escape 
The haunting memories, I must face 
I tried to run, but it was always there 
A reminder of my darkest despair 

I wish I could wash it all away 
Make everything right and then sway 
To the beat of a heart that's pure 
But alas, I'm forever impure 

The stains won't go, they cling so tight 
No amount of scrubbing makes it right 
And so, I'm left with my guilt and shame 
With a past that will always contain this stain 

Blood on my hands, an eternal curse 
A reminder of the worst, of the worst 
I tried to run, but it was always there 
A reminder of my darkest despair.
