Story Behind The Song
About waking up every day cursing somebody's name because they treat you like shit.
Song Description
As soon as you wake up, you're plagued by negative thoughts about someone who has hurt you. This person used to be your friend. And they actually live across the hall from you. Every day you see them is a reminder that they've destroyed a part of you. And once, they even told you that you saved their life. Now all I want to do is wash them out - out of the cracks in my skin and be free of them - clean.

Lyrics
I can lie with the words on my face,
I don't need to come clean,
You expect all the dirtiest things,
I've locked them up so clean,
Oh it's you, Oh it's you,
My tongue is burning on the edge of my teeth,
And if I had the heart to tell you I could easily break it off,
So clean, So clean
So clean, So clean
Here I go this is what it is,
You wrap your words around me,
To choke and kill so I can't even breathe,
You don't even try it's so clean,
Oh it's you, Oh it's you,
I'm sick of waking up with blood on my hands,
If I could wait out in the rain I'd wash you out of the cracks in my skin,
So clean, So clean
So clean, So clean
So clean, so clean
So clean, so clean, eee...
Can you tell that I've reached the end,
It's time to go, bye bye,
I just hope one day you run out,
And the poison becomes clean,
Oh it's you, Oh it's you,
My tongue is burning on the edge on my teeth,
And if I had the heart to tell you I could easily break it off,
So clean, So clean
So clean, So clean
So clean, so clean
So clean, so clean,
So clean, so clean
So clean, so clean
So clean, so clean
So clean, so clean eee...
