You thought you could free the slaves
By filling out the proper paperwork
'Till you turned out all your pockets
And realized they never were
You pulled your kids out of the public school
And resigned to your irreverence
And you set a torch to the old duck blind
Where your heartache took up residence
You were all dressed up
But you didn't know what
All the commotion inside you was for
What did we expect
After all that shame?
Some familiar stretch of crippling faith?
What did we expect
After all that fear?
Some inheritance
To make the past run clear?
Thought we could concentrate just hard enough
To let those feelings in
We were both stuck in the turning lane
But that's where we've always been
I guess we took our love in one big dose
And retired to the peasantry
Saying "paradise exists
But it is locked away inside our memories"
You couldn't sit still
Not while you knew well
That all the commotion
Was held in your name.

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

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.

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.
