The Beautiful Stakes

The Beautiful Stakes [Intro] [Verse 1] Steps echoing in the hall of a vacant church Where the dust settles on the sins we search I feel the cold, but I crave the heat Of the floorboards breaking beneath our feet You’re the siren in the static, the ghost in the gold A story that’s better left untold [Pre Chorus] It’s a hollow grace, it’s a sweet decay The light is fading, but I won’t look away My hands are shaking, reaching for the blade To see the color of the mess we’ve made [Chorus] Oh, we run to the fire just to feel the glow Deeper than the water where the shadows grow I’m a king of the ruins, I’m a slave to the spark Chasing the lightning through the belly of the dark Yeah, we dance on the edge, 'til the gravity breaks Giving our souls for the beautiful stakes [Post Chorus] Mm-mm, the fever takes us Mm-mm, the fire wakes us [Verse 2] There’s a comfort in the dust of a room long dead Feeding on the hunger of the things unsaid The warning signs are a velvet rope In the graveyard of our hollow hope I’d rather burn in the truth than freeze in the lie Watching the embers kiss the sky [Bridge] Break the seal, let the hunger out Fear is the anthem, scream and shout The glass is shattered, the blood is wine I’m losing my mind, but I’m finding the line Finding the line! [Hook] [Vocal Belting] BURN. BRIGHT. BREATH. The holy rush of a certain death BURN. BRIGHT. BREATH. [Chorus] Oh, we run to the fire just to feel the glow Deeper than the water where the shadows grow I’m a king of the ruins, I’m a slave to the spark Chasing the lightning through the belly of the dark Yeah, we dance on the edge, 'til the gravity breaks Giving our souls for the beautiful stakes [Outro] The smoke is all that’s left of home In the ruins, I am not alone The fire burns...
