A recorded reading of “Blood That Won’t Wash”. If the player does not load, use the original audio source.
There’s blood that won’t wash— not from skin, but from the sound of where you’ve been. A name etched deep beneath the ache, a vow I couldn’t bear to break. Now silence hums where you once were, and in that hum, your shadow stirs.
Lyrics
There’s blood that won’t wash No matter how I try It stains the sky I sleep beneath It echoes in goodbye You left your name Inside my veins A haunted hymn In phantom chains I tried the rain I tried the sea But you still burn Inside of me Blood that won’t wash Truth that won’t fade You touched my soul Then let it fray You marked me deep Like sacred ash A vow gone cold A ghostly flash There’s blood that won’t wash And it’s mine to bear You loved me once But left me there I wear your guilt Like velvet skin You moved away But live within You kissed me clean Then made me drown The weight you wore Now pulls me down I begged the wind To take your voice But echoes don’t Allow a choice Blood that won’t wash Truth that won’t fade You touched my soul Then let it fray You marked me deep Like sacred ash A vow gone cold A ghostly flash There’s blood that won’t wash And it’s mine to bear You loved me once But left me there Not every cut Needs blade to bleed Not every wound Will ever leave There’s blood that won’t wash I wear it now Not shame, not rage Just silent vow
