all along the darkened shores i watched you from afar
the closer you got, the deeper my heartbeats fell
and i
was still waiting for my soul to be purified
i can't come to you with this burnt chip of a heart
i can't inflict the loads of my past onto your white flowing gown
no you're much too immune to the gloom of the purple hazy sunset
your eyes sparkle from the distance
and i
am still waiting for my soul to be justified
still waiting for my wrongs to be undone, still waiting for amends to be made
my enemies floated down off the riverside, they left not one trace
and pieces of my heart fell off and landed in different places in the world
but nothing looked more beautiful than the shame on your face when you saw my darkened shadow facing you from underneath
the bridge
and i
i couldn't help but call to you and fall helplessly in your arms
the soul of a monster trapped inside a gentle man
and all at once your white gown surrounded me, entangled me
the softness of your skin melted off my horrid plastic flesh
and i
knew then my soul could be purified, i knew my soul could be justified
and you faded away with the most beautiful gloomy purple haze sunset
and i remain
in this darkened shadow underneath the bridge, my soul a wretched styrofoam cup
soaking up all the impurities without ever leaving them behind
the darkness is forever, and the loads of my past tell everyone their secrets
no, i could never be erased from my chains, can never exorcise the demons of the past
and i remain
and i
am still waiting for my soul to be purified
