They kept their heads in books to drown it out
The clinking glasses of an inlet's open mouth
The straits were shaking us in circles now
I faked a faster death but knew that time was headed south
Through all my thinning paint regret
We were metallic green and red
I was a compass drawing lines around that point,
but never getting closer.
I paid my debts to men in swirling crypts
Who swore they'd keep our names alive in manuscripts
I kept my sins in tow but you'd let go
That's why you moved a little faster.
We were all just floating dead,
Drowning in our sunken heads
Let hell on board this broken deck,
and we'll forget our lies.
And all he knew, he had to leave
A shell of skin beneath the sea
The only thing he got to see
That dead men stand together

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

A darker and more expansive album for an already dark and expansive band. You & I is the aural equivalent of moving through the depths of an empty forest at midnight thrownofan
