Stray(s) - The Republic Of Wolves.mp3

[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.
