lyrics

An open box of matches next to the bed
and a can of paint colored in the words that were left by the door.
Yet I can't seem to find the knob anymore,
so I guess you're still around.

You were as honest as could be.
You were so overwhelmed by it all.

A coat covered in ashes over my head
and I was always on my back.
You were always in the gutter
and couldn't see through any other kind of truth
so I guess it's over now.

You were as honest as could be.
You were so overwhelmed, yeah.
You were as honest as could be
and I was always hoping that I could see.

(Wait for it to come back down.)
It's only half as far as it seems to be when you're standing on the ground.

(Wait for it to come back down.)
And if I had the answers, I'd keep them to myself.

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

His Black Teeth

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.
