This poem is quite a heavy piece, I had always envisioned it as a performance piece and it's for all those who have experienced a trauma they would rather forget.

Brainwashing

I wish that I could wash my brain

And make it clean and free from pain

I wish that I could wash my brain

And wash away the hurt and stain.

Brainwashing, brainwashing

Brainwashing, brainwashing.

I wish that I could wash my brain

And make it clean and free from shame

I wish that I could wash my brain

And wash away the dirt and pain.

Brainwashing, brainwashing

Brainwashing, brainwashing.

I wish that I could wash my brain

And make it clean and free from stain

I wish that I could wash my brain

And wash away the hurt and shame

Brainwashing, brainwashing

Brainwashing, brainwashing.

I wish that I could wash my brain

And make it clean and new again

I wish that I could wash my brain

But I can't....
