lyrics

Pinned to the ground, his hand's down her skirt
She's never felt this kind of hurt
He's had his way with her and left her to die
She doesn't have the strength to cry

She can't help feeling that it's all her fault
These wretched thoughts never seem to halt
The oceans had a wave of a clean existence
When will life ever give her a chance
To move on from the painful night that haunts
The moment when everything went wrong
There's just one thing that she can't forget
The abysmal touch of contaminated hands

I can feel you always around me
Rid me of my clarity
All I feel is agony
Contaminated purity
I can feel you always around me
Rid me of my clarity
All I feel is agony
Contaminated purity

She can't look up to the sky the same
Her life has been altered since that day
She's petrified even in her home
Why does she feel like she's so alone
She continues struggling to cope
Constant reminders around her throat
She tries to express but always chokes
Losing grip on reality she goes

Falling further down the rabbit hole
There's no telling how far it'll go
Because there is only darkness below
Inhale the smoke; creating false hope
Losing every sense of self-control
Just another story left untold

I can feel you always around me
Rid me of my clarity
All I feel is agony
Contaminated purity
I can feel you always around me
Rid me of my clarity
All I feel is agony
Contaminated purity

I wish that I were still me
And be all that I could be
I won't let you beat me
I'm not your contaminated being
