The Boy's Republic
Deftones · White Pony [2000]
On everyone 'cause I don't care
They're soothing me with their love
Blue star, shine your light down
Pierce for my face to heal my veins
Down on everyone 'cause I don't care
They're soothing me with their love
It's more, it's more
Down, shine your light down
Shine your light down
That's more, well, that's more
[Incomprehensible]On everyone 'cause I don't care
You're soothing me with their love
Blue star, shine your light
Shine your light, shine your light down
Blue star down, blue star shine down
On everyone 'cause I don't care
You're soothing me with their love
It's more, it's more, it's more
