(Verse 1)
Washing me over now, pouring me under down
The sky is burning clouds, the fountain shakes the ground
No way to stand the tide Better find a place to hide
I'm gone and when I'm tired, feel it all crawl inside
(Chorus)
Cleanse me, break me
Burns my soul
Strip me down to skin and bone
(Verse 2)
Your life I'm gonna' break
Don't know how much I can take
Brainwash away my hate
My mercened soul is turning
Can't stop the rising tide
Better find a place to hide
I'm gone and when I'm tired
Feel it all crawl inside
(Chorus)
Cleanse me, break me
Burns my soul
Strip me down to skin and bone
(Bridge)
Fought it off: the guilt end of our sorrow
I've sinned again, fear of tomorrow
Scramble, fall, or you'll drown just like an animal
When will this lie?
I'm bitten up of what looks like,
The starting of the fucking real tide
The war is in the war inside of me
When will this lie?
Can't stop the rising tide, better find a place to hide
I'm gone and when I'm tired Feel like I am drowning
(Chorus)
Cleanse me, break me
Burns my soul
Strip me down to skin and bone
