Stakes - Vancouver Sleep Clinic

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 aw
