lyrics

I was red with envy and yellow with bravery.
How can I speak honestly with all these lies inside of me?
Like an old man made of reeds, you stole all of my seeds.
What could you think of me now?
It's all I think of anyhow.
The lightning from Heaven, it finds me uneven;
a broken branch from your pine tree,
I'm shattering consistently.
While receiving ceramic attention,
I went to the sleeping hill on which you stand,
with your head in your shaking hands,
aligned your breath well into me,
and I'm asking myself "can it be?"

Don't let the smoke fill your eyes.
Kept outside awaiting a few days until there's nothing at all.
'Cause I will not be there to burn.
When there's nothing left around I'll ask myself the same old questions.

And I was open,
but your eyes were closed.
And you kept on asking me for what I sold.

So, now I'm leaving option for some kind of reason.
A sheet of marble on your head to replace the things you left unsaid.
Collecting the concepts, I copied the intent,
and I used it as my middle name,
regretting all I had to blame.
A noble move for you to make,
but it was always this way.

Well, I saw colours more vibrant than anything I'd seen before
when you turned your back on me.
And we left an open door breaking off the hinges,
then we let the light drown us.
And I think we're caving in again.

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

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.
