How To Drain The Swamp
Forgetting ain’t easy
Expelling all the love you lived for
How To Drain The Swamp
Burning opportunities given
Blowing up the main square ain’t easy
How can I smoke you out of your holes
And put you on the mantle 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
Obessions 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 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 confess
I dind’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 is long gone
Baby please please go
Now watch me close, baby
Here I go
Flying high on broken wings
While other birds joyfully sing
Old winds won’t blow again
