The Laundress

Lyrics

[Intro] I'm getting good, I'm getting good at this Washing off the blemishes Allow my mind some rest Clean up the mess The laundress The laundress I'm getting good, I'm getting good at this Washing off the blemishes Allow my mind some rest Clean up the mess The laundress The laundress The laundress [Verse 1] Born fresh, cotton scent Halcyon days well spent Misfit, nervousness Playing havoc in my head Move North, move East Change the setting of thе beast A day will come Awaken consciousnеss Really own up to myself A babe out in the woods Embrace my womanhood I write to reinstate That which I disassociate A love is spun [Chorus] I'm getting good, I'm getting good at this Washing off the blemishes Allow my mind some rest Clean up the mess, de-stress I'm getting good, I'm getting good at this Washing off the blemishes Allow my mind some rest Clean up the mess [Bridge] What the hell have I told you? You must start with respecting yourself Then you'll begin to heal You are the laundress You can steep the stains Watch them dissolve Bathe in the resolve And there'll always be a trace But you'll feel the pain subside [Chorus] I'm getting good, I'm getting good at this Washing off the blemishes Allow my mind some rest Clean up the mess, de-stress I'm getting good, I'm getting good at this Washing off the blemishes Allow my mind some rest Clean up the mess, de-stress [Post-Chorus] The laundress The laundress The laundress The laundress The laundress The laundress The laundress The laundress I've been going around for ages feeling sorry for myself If I'd have just embraced my life Not want to be somebody else I thought they wouldn't understand me But how could they if I never said a thing? [Outro] I'm getting good, I'm getting good at this Washing off the blemishes Allow my mind some rest Clean up the mess, de-stress I'm getting good, I'm getting good at this Washing off the blemishes Allow my mind some rest Clean up the mess, de-stress The laundress
