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 out the main square
It ain't easy How can I smoke you out of your holes
Put you on the mental shelf
Give you a place in my heart
A place that's easy A place where you can rest
For 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 chirp out of their head The body keeps on teasing you
How to drain the swamp?
When sadness can only sweeten
When a 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 swinging with your guns While all excitement is long gone
Baby, please, please go And watch me close, babe
Here I go
Flying high on broken wings
While other birds joyfully sing
All the winds won't blow again
