Come Clean
I wash myself in the mud, mud, mud
but I don't come clean.
No I don't come clean.
All my life an endless labrynth
of sorrow and pain.
When will I come clean?
Oh, when will he send the rain?
I wash myself in the mud, mud, mud
but I don't come clean.
No I don't come clean.
I try to climb the ladder
but I just fall back down
Who has lived to wear the crown of shame.
I open my eyes to a great wide worls of apathy and unforgivness.
What place do I belong where demons are disguised as angels
but all angels are liars and theives.
I wash myself in the mud, mud, mud
but I don't come clean
No I don't come clean.
I opened my heard and screamed out to deaf ears
I let my teardrops soak the page of a letter that was never sent because I'm too much of a coward to face the indifference in your eyes.
Open the window on the 18th floor in the 18th room and descend into the sky.
Where you'll never fall down
where you'll never touch ground
where you can just fly, fly, fly.
My daddy loved me but he never knew my name.
If he'd known the girl behind those eyes perhaps I wouldn't be standing here today.
I wash myself in the mud, mud, mud
but I don't come clean
no I don't come clean.
Not long ago but far away in my memory
I loved a man and he loved me.
Long ago but on the sufrace of my memory
I betrayed that man and he abandoned me.
Though I've abandoned myself for far too long
and now there's no coming back
no there's no coming back.
I wash myself in the mud,mud,mud
but I don't come clean
no i don't come clean
I pray to God, Oh Israel
I long to tread upon the ground on which you hail
forgive me for my selfish ways
for I promise there will be better days.
I forgave myself
but I know it is a lie
Oh when will I come clean?
When will I come clean?
