DRAG Lyrics:
Hold your compassion
A blast shield to this aggravated age
Don’t let it take you in wholesale
To border all you love with hate
One dying to become you
Foul and desperate far in reach
Applying to reduce you
To buzz words in a stump speech
Don’t let it drag you out
Where you can’t touch
You can’t touch
You are more please, don’t forget it
Than what tricks your urges pull
By high-water you are lifted
Swallowed up, remade anew
Another floater for the wave-maker
You are more than this
Part of the crowds contagion Is setting in
As you watch the truth twist
Don’t let it drag you out
Where you can’t touch
You can’t touch
