inner peace
Bad Blood Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Face to Face with fear and all the heavy shades of grey
Inner peace is what I need
It's got me searching every other day
Legacy no connection the forefront of my mind
Let it sink, sink below what is left is less I know
And disappear deep into the night

Loud and clear it's what I need
Search for inner peace
Or give into greed and feed the outter grief

Loud and clear it's what I need




Search for inner peace
Or give into greed and feed the outter grief
