How to Drain the Swamp? - MIST

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
