Wash it Away

Water falling through her hands
Like hope, it runs to the drain

Steam inside, inside her lungs
Fogging what's to come
As it goes, the spoken words
Face harmed, staring at the clock

A smile is set as a shield
No time to wonder, no time to heal
Put it on, take it off
Accessorize and apologize

Hours go while you watch
Watch what you say and how you look
Don't forget: Nothing is enough
Nothing is enough for you

You will never be good enough
No satisfaction, value or pride

As much as you open your eyes
Exhaustion blinds you to serve again
Get me some coffee, they say
Why did it take so long?

Look up, wake up, where are you?
Why are you aways late?
Look up, wake up, who are you?
After all, you are still an ingrate

Between divided realities
She finds herself, she can do anything
But only if anything follows the law of the same old good man

Hear the voice, don't make a noise
She never had a choice, no time to rejoice
There is no difference
Just the social imposition
She can't, wash it, away
She can't, wash it, away

Build it, run it
Cook it, teach it
Heal it, nurse it
Consecrate it
There are so many differences
An unnatural imposition
