Wash Them Down The Sink

*be warned, this may offend (Jewish people especially) although I do think this way I am not meaning to upset, so sorry if I do.

There you go again,
Washing away your sins,
Down the plug hole,
Down the sink.

You may be Jewish,
But that's not my problem,
You seem to think that God will love you less if you don't wash them away.

There's still blood on your hands though,
Invisible,
But you feel it,
So you try,
To wash them away-your sins,
Down the sink,
Down the drain.

But it doesn't make any difference,
God knows what you did,
And you can't change it,

You can't change the fact that your decided resting place is Hell.

*when writing this both Macbeth and Safe From Harm by Will Young where on my mind.
