  • 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

    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

    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

    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

    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, no

    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

    Come on, purify Writer/s: James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett, Lars Ulrich, Robert Jens Rock
