Lyrics
From the lake Where I lost it all Stacked on the stake Yet you blessed the fall I guess that I knew I was warned I left my words in the cold The things that I built for myself Castles are tumbling down Surrender the heir, savour the crown Here lies where I drown The first time that I sought for grace But not the last lung I'd put to waste I'm burning down the stakes Wash away, wash away I'm burning down the stakes Wash away, wash away Tumbling through this jaded book The hearts I stole, the air I took What love is this And now the photograph is all that's left To feed the wolves and empty chests To break the best The first time that I sought for grace But not the last lung I'd put to waste I'm burning down the stakes Wash away, wash away I'm burning down the stakes Wash away, wash away I'm burning down the stakes Wash away, wash away I'm burning down the stakes Wash away, wash away ♪ I never bled for a thousand lies Just to stem the flow I never wept over a thousand lives Just to let this go I never bled for a thousand lies Just to stem the flow I never wept over a thousand lives Just to let this go Wash away, wash away, wash away, wash away From the lake Where I lost it all Stacked on the stake Yet you blessed the fall I guess that I knew I was warned I left my words in the cold The things that I built for myself Castles are tumbling down Surrender the heir, savour the crown Here lies where I drown The first time that I sought for grace But not the last lung I'd put to waste I'm burning down the stakes Wash away, wash away I'm burning down the stakes Wash away, wash away Tumbling through this jaded book The hearts I stole, the air I took What love is this And now the photograph is all that's left To feed the wolves and empty chests To break the best The first time that I sought for grace But not the last lung I'd put to waste I'm burning down the stakes Wash away, wash away I'm burning down the stakes Wash away, wash away I'm burning down the stakes Wash away, wash away I'm burning down the stakes Wash away, wash away ♪ I never bled for a thousand lies Just to stem the flow I never wept over a thousand lives Just to let this go I never bled for a thousand lies Just to stem the flow I never wept over a thousand lives Just to let this go Wash away, wash away, wash away, wash away
