and they bleached their hands
do you know why they bleached their hands
I told you about my blood
it’s invisible now
but I still lost it
I still feel the loss and the pain
that I’ve told you about
confiding in you
and you say show me again
show me again
and you can’t do it
stand still
but you can’t go back
you know what I’m talking about
bleach in your brain
bleach in your memory
they tear and tear
and show you a blank page
and say nothing ever happened, see
sometimes, peace requires action
and you never moved
and that’s all I needed to see
