Purge My Name

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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)
[Chorus]
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)

Brooding alt-pop with male vocals, pulsing sub-bass and muted drums under a stark piano riff; verses stay hushed and claustrophobic, chorus explodes with distorted synth swells and stacked gang-style chants on the hook, final chorus drops into a half-time feel with echoing vocal chops for a haunted, cathartic finish
