Lyrics Dirty Hands - Extortionist

Dirty Hands

Running from ourselves
We can’t change what we’ve done
Tried to get away
This pain has gone too long
Save my troubled soul
I’m not the man you used to know
Save my soul
Forget the past and hit the road
When you leave I hear your sigh of relief
Scratch my face of every picture and memory you see
Cut my clothes and burn the notes
Leave nothing left of me
And let the ashes blow away in the breeze
We’re free
Save my troubled soul
I’m not the man you used to know
Save my soul
Forget the past and hit the road
Cut your hands on every piece that you find of me
Take you too the water, wash your hands of me
Shine ourselves under new light and find we don’t like the sight
I know it’s hard but it’s time that we say goodbye
Spend years sifting through the dirt searching for my teeth
I’ve lost all hope and I’ve been questioning
Will I ever find my smile again?
I say we put this to rest.
So long old friend
I’ve come to terms with the fact the ones you love will fucking leave
The ones you love will fucking leave
It’s time to wash those dirty hands
