"Wash Away Those Years" lyrics

"Wash Away Those Years"

She came calling one early morning
She showed her crown of thorns
She whispered softly to tell a story
About how she had been wronged

As she lay lifeless
He stole her innocence
And this is how she carried on
This is how she carried on

Well, I guess she closed her eyes
And just imagined everything's alright
But she could not hide her tears
'Cause they were sent to wash away those years
They were sent to wash away those years

My anger's violent but still, I'm silent
When tragedy strikes at home
I know this decadence is shared by millions
Remember you're not alone
Remember you're not alone

Well, if you just close your eyes
And just imagine everything's alright
But do not hide your tears
'Cause they were sent to wash away those years

Well, if you just close your eyes
And just imagine everything's alright
But do not hide your tears
'Cause they were sent to wash away those years
They were sent to wash away those years
Maybe, we can wash away those years

For we have crossed many oceans
And we labor in between
In life, there are many quotients
And I hope I find the mean
The mean, the mean

Well, if you just close your eyes
And just imagine everything's alright
But do not hide your tears
'Cause they were sent to wash away those years

Well, if you just close your eyes
And just imagine everything's alright
But do not hide your tears
'Cause they were sent to wash away those years
Maybe, we can wash away those years
I hope that you can wash away those years
