Bathing Repentance

In the bathroom…bathing in the bathtub I’m drowning in gloom…grooming for a rub I’m repenting for hurting myself and others…understand… These devils in my mind and hands…got so damn out of hand Dripping soap and water on my pigmentation body No body is here…everybody’s gone — not bad news Lipping some Ariana Grande lyrics oh so happily and crazily But, sadly, I lost my voice due to throat issues Bathing repentance…broke free from bondage and I’m boss now Breathing in elegance…soaking in gray and magical watery grave Lathering up with mystical aqua and I’m in shadowy illumination somehow I’m the pixie in the sea of reverie…quenching in amber brave Bathing repentance…I’m lacking radiance, so I sprinkle in some teal in my hair Healing grace and deliverance is what I need, so I change the songs in despair Amber golden happiness and cheer Will be in my hair, will be in my hair Teal, for real, will be with it, no fear So, get it out of my hair, out of my hair Prepare for the best I will win God’s test As long as I change Nothing wrong with strange You invaded my space…embrace me, even if I’ve delve into this mess I’ve been jaded and hated, but I want to be beloved and freely express How I feel when I need to repent deeply and regrettably falling away I’m a fool for you, baby, and I’m a shameful idiot that went astray Dripping soap and water on my pigmentation body No body is here…everybody’s gone — not bad news Lipping some Ariana Grande lyrics oh so happily and crazily But, sadly, I lost my voice due to throat issues Bathing repentance…broke free from bondage and I’m boss now Breathing in elegance…soaking in gray and magical watery grave Lathering up with mystical aqua and I’m in shadowy illumination somehow I’m the pixie in the sea of reverie…quenching in amber brave Bathing repentance…I’m lacking radiance, so I sprinkle in some teal in my hair Healing grace and deliverance is what I need, so I change the songs in despair Amber golden happiness and cheer Will be in my hair, will be in my hair Teal, for real, will be with it, no fear So, get it out of my hair, out of my hair Prepare for the best I will win God’s test As long as I change Nothing wrong with strange You took everything away… I took for granite our love all the way… But, I repented for this dismay Gone away and I’m spiralling free-falls day after day Until the nightfall comes to stay Whatever is in shadows will turn to light today I pray you understand me as I drift away I pray you can stand me as I see the light of day
