Shake
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Forget all the rules, forget everything
You took my name out of schools
I take back my blessings
How can I bless the things I don't believe in? Is it right?
Remember whose planet it is, Mine
You wake, you're fake, you take away from me
I don't try to make things right
Earthquakes will shake to wake you up again
Cry, that's why I don't protect your nation now
My rain is pouring down
You're welcome to drink
Just follow your heart, And try not to fake
I'll relieve you for good
Matching torture in your soul
But first you have to die to yourself, now
You wake, you're fake, you take away from me
I don't try to make things right
Earthquakes will shake to wake you up again
Cry, that's why I don't protect your nation now
You'll be so sorry then, you'll wish you were forgiven
Quaking, shaking, earth quaking, shaking
Earth quaking, shaking, earth quaking, shaking
Earth quaking, shaking
Shake! Shake!
Quake! Quake!
Shake! Shake!
Quake! Quake!
Shake! Shake!
Quake! Quake!
Shake! Shake!
Quake! Quake!
Buildings are crashing down, just look around and see
You wake, you're fake, you take away from me
I don't try to make things right
Earthquakes will shake to wake you up again
Cry, that's why I don't protect your nation now
Cry, that's why I don't protect your nation now
