[ar:The Republic Of Wolves]
[al:]
[00:00.00] We're all holding onto banisters
[00:03.76] Cause it's a long way, it's a long way down
[00:11.46] And the enemy of common sense
[00:14.80] Is a loose grip and a steep stairwell
[00:22.47] So toss me to and fro till I condemn
[00:25.51] The very sense of being still
[00:33.24] And we'll litter all the way
[00:35.28] Shed all our trappings for the rest to wade through
[00:40.34] No matter how narrow is our path
[00:46.43] And we could never name our burdens
[00:51.76] But still, they pained us all the same
[00:55.99] I never knew my context
[00:58.91] But that's just fine
[01:01.42] Yeah, I'm stuck outside of my shaking mind
[01:06.87] I never felt an inside so ill-defined
[01:12.57] Never compromise if you've still got time
[01:27.79] So we're all ordaining ministers
[01:31.61] Cause we can't keep, no we can't keep clean
[01:38.52] We've been deferring to a hypocrite
[01:42.61] With a kind voice and a loud idea
[01:50.23] He divided up the races with a pencil
[01:53.85] And the book of Genesis
[01:59.55] And sorted us into companies and colonies
[02:03.85] All pitted up against each other
[02:08.02] No matter how, no matter how common is our cause
[02:23.87] I never knew my context
[02:26.73] But that's just fine
[02:29.63] Yeah, I'm stuck outside of my shaking mind
[02:34.56] I never felt an inside so ill-defined
[02:40.44] Never compromise if you've still got time
[02:45.82] I was a visionary
[02:49.05] Till I sold my vision
[02:56.71] You were a missionary
[02:59.99] Who misplaced your mission
[03:07.00] I collected up my feelings and my crowns
[03:10.68] And went to sleep without a sound
[03:17.90] To distribute all my thoughts
[03:19.94] Among inanimate depictions of myself
[03:26.08] Myself
