Liar,
Picture perfectly framed for you
Water,
Revealer of the truth about you

Wash away
Wash way
But still the blood remain

Pushing down the knife
Roundabout ways of
Dancing around the bush

Tip toeing with tedious trivia
Didn't think about the ways of
The soul you crushed

Creature,
Creature of the night
Descends upon the village
Deceiver,
Deceiver of the light
Sack and pillage

Wash away
Wash away
But still the blood remains

Clutch your badge of freedom
Delusional sense of freedom
As the whispers say otherwise

Ignore the wake behind you
Forget this betrayed friend
As you cut the remaining ties

Liar,
Picture perfectly framed for you
Water,
Revealer of the truth about you

Wash away
Wash away
But still the blood remains

Come what may
Come what may
But the red does so stains
