Lyrics
Drain
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.
May I walk beside your shadow, softly
Bless the ground you walk upon so easy
Innocence, come to me
Squandered in anarchy
Can I drain your body of its fever
Turn my cheek while you are weak and starving
We all know who you are
What you've become, you're a star
Sweet dreams you don't want to change
By means at your own hands
Remote and isolated
Predoubt all that you see
Innocence, come to me and be your belief and see
May I walk beside your shadow, softly
Bless the ground you walk upon so easy
