Unclean

Word gets around
This pious little town
She never lived down the cadaver the deacon found
The judge said she bound him and drowned him in the bay
He said fondness made absence grow heartless with hatred and rage

The scar on cheek
The scars on her wrists
Said "Unclean" like the mark of a demon's kiss
Some called her Satan and some said insane
She stared out at the harbor for hours alone when it rained

Unclean
I don't want to talk about it
Unclean
No one's to blame
Unclean
I don't want to talk about it
Unclean
No one's to blame

Word gets around
This superstitious town
They burned down the mansion but swear they still hear the sounds
The six feet of concrete they poured in her tomb
Just made fondness grow heartlessly absent and safely removed

Unclean
I don't want to talk about it
Unclean
No one's to blame
Unclean
I don't want to talk about it
Unclean
No one's to blame
She stared out at the harbor for hours alone when it rained

When she hung
Nobody's pain was undone
They all walked away pale and numb
Some say she cursed them and some say she cried
When they turned her away from the harbor
And told her to close her eyes

Unclean
I don't want to talk about it
Unclean
No one's to blame
Unclean
I don't even want to have to think about it
Unclean
No one's to blame
She stared out at the harbor for hours alone when it rained
She stared out at the harbor for hours alone when it rained
