lyrics

I bathe in holy water
In search of what I’ve done
I had to share my sorrow
And treat it like a son

Now I feel ten stone lighter
With the devil off my back
I’m cursed to never stumble
Cursed to never crack

If I ever run away they know where I’ll be found
No I can never run away I’m sure they’d hunt me down
But maybe you, maybe you could help to…

Wash away my demons and take them from me
Wash away my demons have some mercy won’t you please?
Wash away my problems and send them to the sea
Wash away my demons and cleanse my inequity
Holy water save me, holy water save me
Holy water save me from myself
Yeah save me from me

I’m sorry for the bother, I’m sorry for the sins
I’m here before your altar, I pray that it’s the end

And with the voice of reason
And with some help from friends
I hope to one day slumber
I hope to sleep again

If I should ever run away you know where I’ll be found
If I should ever run away you need not hunt me down
But maybe you, maybe you could help to…

Wash away my demons and take them from me
Wash away my demons have some mercy won’t you please?
Wash away my problems and send them to the sea
Wash away my demons and cleanse my inequity
Holy water save me, holy water save me
Holy water save me from myself
Holy water save me, holy water save me
Holy water save me from myself
Yeah save me from me

I hope to never run away, but if one day I do
Then don’t you dare, don’t you dare come running too
