The Republic Of Wolves
Grounded, I Am Traveling Light (Demo)
So we were living out our days
In an old abandoned palisade
Sweeping chimneys 'til our backs hurt
And singing 'til our throats were dry
Scraping the red from every rusty nail
Stitching the carpet tears
We kept our salty voices hushed
You looked loveliest all dressed in dust
And I cleared the cobwebs while you slept
Set a fire that we'd both regret
You woke up coughing out a storm
And we never made it out the door
'Cause I for one was taking my time
And I have been thinking an awful lot
When you are still wrapped around my neck
The roof has been caving in for days
We're standing still in the same spot
It was six hundred degrees
We had nothing to protect our feet
From the glowing embers hardening our soles
Our burning bed of coal
But that fever that we shared
Wasn't nothing that we couldn't bear
Yeah, we just wrapped around each other
And we sweated out our worst nightmares
And I think that's when I was born
In your arms during a firestorm
We were perfectly in place
We were caught up inside our own brains
