We rose from the soil in filthy clothes,
Just to give each other names we didn't want
A door that you never saw before,
A fading portrait losing colors constantly
A stone that you carried all alone,
A parasitic anchor or a termite-ridden oar.
And I finally realized what it's worth,
But I'm just not sure of which is worse
Is this a blessing or a curse?
Today we said what we had to say,
So you could run for centuries
And I might follow suit
It's true, a garment of royal blue
A flame between your fingers
And an oil lamp that dimmed
And tied to your ankle was a chain,
Meant to absolve and not detain
But i never had too much to gain.
The thorn in your side,
I wish it was mine
And you never died.
My friend, I will never apprehend
A reminiscent flower
And a seven hour drive
We swore that there would be nothing more,
But I could use an answer
And I'm sure that you could too.
And I finally realized what it's worth,
But I'm just not sure of which is worse
Is this a blessing or a curse?
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
