"Take A Shower"
Take a shower to wash off
The bad memories
But can I get them back
When I need them to crack
The secret codes from the past?
I don’t totally agree with forgetting
What has been done, said and still going (on)
And what has gotten me here
But I choose to clear
Them from my mind
If I could complete
The things I start
I wouldn’t have this
Problem to begin with
(follow me)
Get out the soap
It ain’t time to mope
Around and feel down
Turn on the water
And take a shower
To get this thing over
Get back to normal
Water on my back
On my face, in fact
I feel better already
Memories long gone but
I don’t like this so much
Knowing I can’t go back to the preterite
To change and acknowledge the rhetoric
I used back when I was an a**
I’m going forward, though, and fast
