Clean

Pour me a tall glass To drown out my regret Brace for the impact Of these familiar secrets Love's an addiction Only leaving ruin Loathe the infliction Of pain from luring you in Oh I tried to make the sacrifice And escape from the toxic high we seem to crave But nothing's enough to suffice And desire's a drug that always captivates And I'll be the first to take the blame But let me go so I can finally be freed Need to run from this vertigo I need to be clean There's an empty room In which you will find me Hard not to assume Everyone is guilty For we all just try to fill our holes Someone to bring sweet relief to our selfish souls The old prescription that we're told 'Infatuated freedom will keep us going' And I bought into the sale And shattered hearts with swallowed truths and hopes regaled I can't long for blissful release I need to be clean Need to be clean I need to be clean Need to be clean Forgive me; I've been so lost Forgive me; I've been so lost Forgive him; he's been so lost Forgive us; we've been so lost
