Wash Me Away
written by Kevin Basko


Clean my slate running in circles trying not to be late for a wake up call
Check my pulse its time for a change its been too long since I let it fall like this
 Why don’t I why don’t I why don’t pick up on the signs they send?
Why cant I why cant I why cant I seem to let it go every time they can?
 And you know you wont be hearing from me cause ill be gone it’s a new me that’s here
 And this life is like a blacktop sketch to wash away wash away wash me away and ill disappear
Little situations in a moments notice I’m switched to a cut time scene
 With a black and white picture as the backstop bleeds
The colors inside spill to the world that I’m in to stain the walls
 Why don’t I why don’t I why don’t I take a break and get away from it all
Why cant I why cant I why cant was cuckold wasn’t told now I’m alive and never getting old
I get past the numbers I disappear a boy lived life like reaction I disappear
 Remove the mask I wear I disappear change up the face of the place I’ve been I disappear
While time flies it files move the “i” distract the vowels with the tower of consonants playing God
Forget the name it’s a tiny superstition in the prison that are these walls straight pitch white
 Say goodbye I won’t look back at me it’s the last thing Ill see
 Draw your story write it out on your empty sleeve where your heart should be
