Purify Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Tear it down
Strip the layers off
My turpentine
Old paint, old looks
Cover up the past
White heat, white light
Super white bones
Bones of you and I
[Chorus 1]
Pure if I (Can't you help me?)
Pure if I (Won't you help me?)
Purify, you and I
Purify, you and I
Pure if I (Can't you help me?)
Pure if I (Won't you help me?)
You and I, purify
You and I, purify
Purify!
[Verse 2]
Truth and dare
Peeling back the skin
Acid wash
Ghost white
Ultra clean
Wanna be skeleton
Clear eyes, diamond eyes
Strip the past of mine
My sweet turpentine
[Chorus 2]
Pure if I (Can't you help me?)
Pure if I (Won't you help me?)
Purify, you and I
Purify, you and I
Pure if I (Can't you help me?)
Pure if I (Won't you help me?)
You and I, purify
You and I, purify
Oh, purify!
[Bridge]
I can find the dirt on anything
I can find the dirt on anything
I ain't dancing with your skeletons
I, I ain't dancing with what might have been
[Chorus 3]
Pure if I (Can't you help me?)
Pure if I (Won't you help me?)
Purify, you and I
Purify, you and I
Pure if I (Can't you help me?)
Pure if I (Why won't you help me?)
You and I, purify
You and I, purify
[Outro]
Come on, purify
