I collected the years in a basket
In the hope they might cover my head
When you came home to see them
I guess they were already spent.
All our colors were caught in the tree rings
You were shaking your head at the ground
I keep feeling like I was the reason
They never were found
And you should've seen that racing relief
Pushing its claws into what I believed,
Turning out precious stones I couldn't keep
Just to retreat and be gone from me.
In a storage yard stood like a statue
I've been counting the symbols all day
It seemed strange that you left,
But I guess you were written that way
I surrendered myself to your footprints
Wasn't sure if I'd followed them right
Over time as the soil grew soft
I was losing my sight
I figured I might.
Clever thought provoking lyrics,
"You had built a new face, empty but awake, painted it the one shade you could never fake"
Beautifully composed. This is a re-recording of "His Old Branches" yet manages to feel fresh and important to The Republic of Wolves discography. I'm joining a cult.
Lets gooooo! I've needed this.
Strong release, Republic of Wolves fans won't be disappointed.
I adore the song writing, such clever lyrics on display.
Thought provoking songs with spiritual/occult undertones.
Now go on tour! I'm joining a cult.
Taylor Swift has three songs in my Top 25 favorite songs of all time. Twenty-two other people are tied for second place. This cover of "Blank Space" is excellent and has a good chance of breaking into my Top 25. bruce123
