lyrics

Crawl at last to the water and wait
Call up names of the dead from beautiful estate
it's echoed all through the halls I think I've heard
enough by now
don't believe them at all

In clothes of rust
stained from within
will the waters restore
what I lost giving in

Take this liar here
Gorgeous in sins we all know
its best to act wicked as you can
and hope that your heart don't follow
I forgot all of my best friends' names
yesterday night, you didnt realize
it was the best thing that I'd ever had

'Cause it was just myself for a minute or two

See her smile and the meadow's a waste
calls up sins of the skin, such beautiful disgrace
its etched on each of my cells
I think I've seen enough by now
To throw myself down

In clothes of white
to let it all go
will these waters reveal
what I tried not to show

Take this liar here
Gorgeous in sins we all know
its best to act wicked as you can
and hope that your heart don't follow
I forgot all of my best friends' names
yesterday night, you didnt realize
it was the best thing that I'd ever had

Cause it was just myself for a minute or two
