Lyrics

Clean hands
Dirty work
Soft smile
Deep hurt
Clean hands
Dirty work
You made the mess
Then made me worse
You walk in white
Like you never touched the fire
Like the smoke on everybody else
Came from their own desire
You keep your voice low
So the room thinks you're calm
But every quiet little cut
Still leaves blood on the palm
You don't throw stones
You just hand them out
Then act surprised
When the walls come down
Wash it off
Wash it clean
Tell yourself
It wasn't me
Wash it off
Say it's true
While everybody else
Pays for you
Clean hands
Dirty work
Smile wide
Hide the hurt
You leave the mess
Then leave the room
Let somebody else
Carry what you do
Clean hands
Dirty work
You push and push
Till they lose their shit
Then point and say
Look what they did
Clean hands
Dirty truth
Drip
Drip
Down the drain
Drip
Drip
Still leaves a stain
Clean hands
Dirty work
Clean hands
Dirty work
You know how to stand
Where the light hits right
Know how to sound wounded
When you sharpen the knife
You never say break
You just bend them slow
Till they lose their shit
And you say, I told you so
You keep the story clean
With a careful little tongue
Cut the ugly parts out
Then call the record done
You make people crazy
Then call them insane
You light the damn match
Then cry about the flame
Wash it off
Wash it clean
Tell yourself
They made you mean
Wash it off
Hide the proof
But the water knows
What you won't call truth
Clean hands
Dirty work
Smile wide
Hide the hurt
You leave the mess
Then leave the room
Let somebody else
Carry what you do
Clean hands
Dirty work
You push and push
Till they lose their shit
Then point and say
Look what they did
Clean hands
Dirty truth
How many times
Can you wash the same lie
Before the water turns black
Right in front of your eyes
How many names
Can you drag through the mud
Before the floor starts moving
With all that buried blood
You say you never meant it
You say you never knew
But every room behind you
Looks damaged by you
And I'm done pretending
That quiet means kind
Some people hide murder
Behind a calm little smile
Run the water
Bless the stain
Say the damage
Has no name
Run the water
Hide the proof
Scrub your skin
But not the truth
You made me look crazy
For reacting to your shit
You broke the whole room
Then blamed me for it
Clean hands
Dirty work
Clean hands
Dirty work
You washed your name
But not the hurt
Clean hands
Dirty work
Clean hands
Dirty work
You left the blood
Inside the dirt
No more halos
No more white
No more hiding
In the light
No more holy
No more clean
No more acting
Like you didn't see
Clean hands
Dirty work
Smile wide
Hide the hurt
You leave the mess
Then leave the room
Let somebody else
Carry what you do
Clean hands
Dirty work
You push and push
Till they lose their shit
Then point and say
Look what they did
Clean hands
Dirty truth
Clean hands
Dirty work
Clean hands
Dirty work
You washed your name
But not the hurt
Clean hands
Dirty truth
Clean hands
Dirty work
Soft smile
Deep hurt
You made the mess
Then made me worse
Clean hands
Dirty work
