In the bottle my essence lies
Red as the night truth I can't disguise
I'm shaking hard trying to erase
The crimson stain the memory's trace
Cleansing fears that won't let go
Hiding wounds that still overflow
In the sanitizer I pour my soul
But the color fades and yet I know
Sanitized blood it's still my pain
Masked by the pure but it's all in vain
I'm bleeding out what I can't deny
No matter the cleanse the truth won't die
Sanitized blood it's my heart's refrain
Running through veins I can't restrain
Purify me but the stains remain
Sanitized blood just the same
In every drop a war ignites
Unseen battles that rage all night
Twisting the bottle turning away
But the essence of me refuses to fade
Vulnerable but I hide it well
Sanitized to mask the hell
The blood the truth beneath the clean
A struggle within that's rarely seen
Sanitized blood it's still my pain
Masked by the pure but it's all in vain
I'm bleeding out what I can't deny
No matter the cleanse the truth won't die
Sanitized blood it's my heart's refrain
Running through veins I can't restrain
Purify me but the stains remain
Sanitized blood just the same
I shake I cleanse I purify
But deep inside I know the lie
The color fades but still it's there
A crimson truth I cannot bear
How do I cleanse what's in my veins?
A life that's marked by hidden stains
I fight I fall I rise again
But blood's my truth it won't refrain
Sanitized blood it's still my pain
Masked by the pure but it's all in vain
I'm bleeding out what I can't deny
No matter the cleanse the truth won't die
Sanitized blood it's my heart's refrain
Running through veins I can't restrain
Purify me but the stains remain
Sanitized blood just the same
Sanitized blood a silent cry
A battle fought beneath the sky
No matter how I cleanse or try
My blood my truth won't ever die
