[ar:The Republic Of Wolves]
[al:]
[00:03.22] I was up to my neck in apologies
[00:08.09] For the war they had waged over me
[00:12.89] Two ill-tempered ideas
[00:15.48] Tearing down the house
[00:17.79] Guess I’ve been loaning it out
[00:20.29] To the wrong crowd
[00:23.26] So there’s another heart
[00:25.51] That plays the part of mine
[00:28.08] Forgetting all the lines
[00:30.34] But it beats right
[00:33.17] And I’m off to the side
[00:35.54] Or somewhere in the seats
[00:37.81] Just trying to keep the peace
[00:39.78] Did we forget the cost
[00:42.25] (Something got me to give you up)
[00:44.87] Of living good and lost?
[00:47.14] (Someone told me there’s no “enough”)
[00:49.86] Our loyalties divided
[00:52.07] (Somehow took it to mean the worst)
[00:55.05] And cast across
[00:56.97] (If there’s a reason just make sure that you get there first)
[01:11.90] I was down with the strays seeking charity
[01:16.86] Wondering if I could seem deserving
[01:22.30] Couldn’t see what became of the family crest
[01:26.55] A realization my pride couldn’t digest
[01:32.02] But if there’s another key
[01:34.67] That gets you through the door
[01:36.82] You won’t know what it was for
[01:39.17] ‘Till it’s too late
[01:41.73] ‘Cause I’m diving through the trash
[01:44.10] And there’s nothing but belief
[01:46.56] All rotten in the heat
[01:48.65] Did we forget the cost
[01:51.09] (Something got me to give you up)
[01:53.75] Of living good and lost?
[01:56.03] (Someone told me there’s no “enough”)
[01:58.53] Our loyalties divided
[02:01.01] (Somehow took it to mean the worst)
[02:03.97] And cast across
[02:06.15] (If there’s a reason just make sure that you get there first)
[02:10.43] But did you get there first
[02:11.75] (Something got me to give you up)
[02:13.54] Or did the vessels burst?
[02:15.73] (Someone told me there’s no “enough”)
[02:18.31] Did we offend the water
[02:20.71] (Somehow took it to mean the worst)
[02:23.57] And die of thirst?
[02:25.66] (If there’s a reason just make sure that you get there first)
[02:41.00] I couldn’t get it past you
[02:45.78] The pain that had gotten used to me
[02:50.33] While you planted salt like seeds
[02:53.96] In my every open wound
[03:00.38] The tireless glare of the brake lights
[03:05.27] The collars that hugged us too tight
[03:10.22] The crack of my caustic voice
[03:13.74] Made a mockery of me
[03:16.18] A travesty of what i tried to be
[03:21.70] Did we forget the cost
[03:26.65] Of living good and lost?
[03:31.51] Our loyalties divided
[03:37.06] And cast across
[03:41.40] But did you get there first
[03:43.90] (Something got me to give you up)
[03:46.29] Or did the vessels burst?
[03:48.81] (Someone told me there’s no “enough”)
[03:51.41] Did we offend the water
[03:53.71] (Somehow took it to mean the worst)
[03:56.77] And die of thirst?
[03:58.60] (If there’s a reason just make sure that you get there first)
[04:14.58] My head is going south
[04:17.05] Just trying to hammer out
[04:19.49] A less complicated route
[04:21.94] To the wrong place
[04:24.35] And I couldn’t bear the cross
[04:26.75] So I’m holding it aloft
[04:29.20] Just auctioning it off.
