How to drain the swamp?
Forgetting ain't easy
Expelling all the love
you've lived for
How to drain the swamp?
Burning opportunities given
Blowing up the main square
It ain't easy How can I smoke you out of your heart
And put you on the mantel shelf
Give you a place in my heart
A place that's easy
A place where you can rest
The rest of the days ahead
A place to remember
A place from the past
How to drain the swamp?
Obsessions are like insects
When you chop off the head The body keeps on teasing you
How to drain the swamp?
When sadness can only sweeten
When the wound is a flower that grows in every season
How can I teach you what I've learned
Now that schools are out forever?
I'm preaching in a church without believers
A church where I can confess I didn't do anything
But my best A church to sing in
A church to believe in
When war is over The earth still smokes
I see you swaying with your guns While all excitement has long gone
Baby, please, please go
And watch me close, baby Here I go
Flying high on broken wings While other birds joyfully sing
All the winds won't blow again
