Drained Lyrics

Break me off

I'm sucking the wrong vine again

I need some comforting to get me back in line again

Tie me on

I'm running out of time

And there's no Holy Spirit

Coming from this wine

Drink it down

It's empty to the dregs

But I feel no more pleasure here than when I first began

Fill me up

To excess I attain

The emptiness of access, artifices in my brain

Waste is repeated

Vita, depleted

Drained

Newness, discarded

Rebirth, avoided

Again

Distantly, flickers

I know I can't smother

The flame

Fruitless ambition

Grieve transfiguration

Grafted onto dying vine

Monotony my hidden crime

Repetitious consummation

Is producing no salvation

Break

Burst the bonds

Until we're finally free

Nothing but my own will within to capture me

Don't you know

The higher thing must save?

If nothing sacred dwells here I must build the sacred state

Derivative

The glory left the house

And I am left producing stories that I live without, now

Spiral down

Existence is my trade

The holy parts of me are the parts I did not make

Waste is repeated

Drained

Newness discarded

Again

Waste is repeated

Drained

Newness discarded

Again

Fruitless ambition

Grieve transfiguration

Grafted onto dying vine

Monotony my hidden crime

Repetitious consummation

Is producing no salvation

Break

Reach for the roots

Break me off

Tie me on

Before I'm thrown in the blaze

Because a green branch won't burn

Reach for the roots
