The Republic Of Wolves

For His Old Branches (Alternate Version)
There is a wheel that spins to keep the river flowing
It runs a course between your eyelids and your aching jaw
There was a bird that took your voice and turned it backwards
He and the past were aiming arrows at your heaving chest
You took a train into the mouth of all you hated
Spent half a lifetime watching love tear up the steel tracks
You set a trap to catch the smoke that turned your eyes white
You and the ghost you will become are sleeping side by side
(Then we ran down the river Van
To the mouth of old Fenrir
And he swallowed us up)
I collected rocks, filled up my pockets
And tried to swim across the stream.
I was told I'd be kept afloat
By the ghosts of the hills that I'd flattened to get here.
Trusted a fiend and lost my hand.
My blood flowed white and filled the canyon
And I saw faces in the leaves

And they were preaching to me
There is a tree you cannot cut
He knows your name and all your fears
You dare not lay an axe to his old branches
They dug a coal mine by your house
His singing kept you up all night
All of your friends got caught between his black teeth
We left our shoes under the ground
Tied yellow feathers to our arms
And learned the language of the aching mountain top
But now went out west to try to build a simpler version of myself
My iron tools got swallowed up by spirits
I knew my head was inside out so I sold my soul to taste the clouds
Ate from the trees and started digging up the ground
There is a thought you cannot shake of her asleep under the lake
The ice is eating up the surface and you are the fish sleeping peacefully
