There are bruises that are more than skin deep
They stain these bones purple, blue, and pink
I wonder how deep my pain can go
Is my soul only a twisted, sick thing

Please, please, please take these aching lavender bones
Bleach them white, remove those wicked sins
Maybe then they’ll be pure again, I’ll be pure again
Untouched by cruelty

Free me from my prison of words and other torment
Cleanse me with kisses and soft touch
Heal me, heal me, heal me
I just want to be whole again

I can’t be loved like this, can’t love myself like this
I am begging through shades of blue and black
Let’s start over, healed and new
Forget, forgive, repent, restart

I promise to make sweet pretend with you
Your trailing hands and scorching mouth
They have never burned or bruised…..right
I fell, I crashed, I broke into love

Somehow has much as you heal me, you kill me
In the end I’m just as bruised and broken as before
Just in new ways
My dearest love, you’ve been my ruin
