Residue

It’s stuck on me and I can’t wash it off And if I try to scrub it then it starts to bleed It’s underneath my nails and in my hair, I swear it’s everywhere It’s coming out through the seams It’s been seeping through me, sleeping with me all up in my bed I awaken I don’t ever feel renewed There’s something scratching at me clawing through the memories in my head It’s so persistent no I can’t ditch it I can’t get rid of this residue Sticking hard to me it’s something I can’t tame Completely covered in this residue From my toes up to my face Just when I’m convinced that I’ve been cleansed I start to feel it creeping back on my shoulders And just when I think that I’ve got this all under control The feeling starts to take me over It’s been seeping through me sleeping with me all up in my head Slightly out of sight on the periphery But it’s attracted to me activated when I’m waiting It’s so persistent no I can’t ditch it I can’t get rid of this residue Sticking hard to me it’s something I can’t tame Completely covered in this residue From my toes up to my face I’m trying to come clean I’m trying to break free When I wake up in the morning I can’t get it off It’s clinging to me It’s in there too deep I can’t get rid of this residue Sticking hard to me it’s something I can’t tame Completely covered in this reside From my toes up to my face I can’t get rid of this residue Sticking hard to me it’s something I can’t tame Completely covered in this residue From my toes up to my face
