[Verse 1] I kept my secrets in the dark Thought if I buried them They’d fade But every shadow knew my name Every quiet night Betrayed I see the mess on these two hands I feel the weight in every bone I hear my own heart testifying I can’t outrun what I have sown [Chorus] So wash me whiter than the first snow falling Break these bones and let them dance again Take this heart of stone Oh God I’m calling Make me clean inside this skin Wash me whiter Wash me whiter Than I’ve ever been [Verse 2] You want truth under the tongue Deep in the places no one sees I tried to patch what I had torn But mercy doesn’t come from me Don’t cast me from the love I’ve known Don’t let Your presence drift away Light a fire in this hollow chest I’m clinging to Your name today [Chorus] So wash me whiter than the first snow falling Break these bones and let them dance again Take this heart of stone Oh God I’m calling Make me clean inside this skin Wash me whiter Wash me whiter Than I’ve ever been [Bridge] Open my lips and I’ll sing Not with pride But with a broken ring (oh oh) You don’t delight in what I bring You’re near the heart that’s shattering [Chorus] So wash me whiter than the first snow falling Break these bones and let them dance again Take this heart of stone Oh God I’m calling Make me clean inside this skin Wash me whiter Wash me whiter Than I’ve ever been

Rustic folk-rock ballad in the vein of modern acoustic anthems: bright banjo rolls and earthy fiddle lines over a steady kick and warm, droning cello. Male vocals, intimate and cracked in the verses, then rising into a ragged, shout-along chorus with stacked harmonies. Dynamics build from hushed confession to cathartic release, ending on a gentle, unresolved chord and a lone voice., male vocals, cello
