Purge My Name

You wrote my faults

On the walls in red

Circle every doubt

Like a test I failed again

Cold light on

All the mess I made

You say

“Hold still”

While you scrub my face away

Purge my name from your tongue

Like I was poison in your lungs

Spit me out

Don’t save a trace

Burn my letters

Bleach my face

If I’m the stain you can’t erase

Purge my name

Purge my name

You keep the frame

But tear out the frame’s inside (yeah)

Cut my side

From the story in your eyes

Erase the date

From the backs of every print

You keep the smile

But you blackout where I lived

Purge my name from your tongue

Like I was poison in your lungs

Spit me out

Don’t save a trace

Burn my letters

Bleach my face

If I’m the stain you can’t erase

Purge my name

Purge my name

Scrub the scent from your sleeves

Wash the nights from your sheets

Tell your friends I was “someone”

You forgot between the weeks

But when the room goes quiet

And your brave voice starts to shake

Will you still be so certain

You needed me erased? (oh)

Purge my name from your tongue

Like I was poison in your lungs

Spit me out

Don’t save a trace

Burn my letters

Bleach my face

If I’m the stain you can’t erase

Purge my name

Purge my name

Purge my name

(Go on, purge my name)
