And though you saw me standing there
With painted cheeks and a blood red stare
And though you watched me fall to wreck
Your grubby fingers round my neck
You try to make yourself forget
Your hands itching with the sweat
The fear that I am still there
That I still remember
Tears won't clean your DIRTY SKIN,
Or wipe the shine from my grin
Your eyes on the water's reflection
As I dive into the deep end
(As I dive into the deep end
As I dive into the deep end
As I dive into the deep end
As I dive into the deep end)
And though you dragged me through your mess
I scrubbed the grime of your footsteps
I bore your weight with my own chained feet
As you dangled into the jaws of the street
And you left me
Searching through
The demons of your sleep
For some kind of key
You didn't want to see.
Tears won't clean your DIRTY SKIN,
Or wipe the shine from my grin
Your eyes on the water's reflection
As I dive into the deep end
(As I dive into the deep end
As I dive into the deep end
As I dive into the deep end
As I dive into the deep end)
