July For Kings - Washed Away lyrics

There was blue green clay on the banks that day as we left the world behind it was upstream then like it's upstream now in this livelong outside there's a trestle across the water like my hands across that year for a moment the green was mine And our footsteps worn from years of rain and it held my hand like it holds my name and my childhood born and the difference the water washed away the water washed away I'm bruised and red from the pain of rock stepping stones until I fall and daggers when I land a roman candle in my hand was a weapon to the outside and I walked in my father's wake I prayed to a god to take the endlessness of those shores And our footseps worn from years of rain and he held my hand he still holds my name and my childhood born and the difference We let the water wash away the water washed away The water washed away the water washed away the water washed away the water took it all all away Those sacred trails by the waterside left to other souls(soles) without love or hate they're bleeding the everything they're soiling the brilliant green and I'm drowning for the water's sake our footsteps worn from years of rain and he held my hand and I still hold his name and my childhood born and the difference I let the water wash away The water washed away Let the water wash away I let the water wash away The water washed away Washed it all The water washed it all away I let the water wash away I let the water wash away The water washed away away Water washed it all away washed it all away away The water washed away the water washed away the water washed away take it all away all away There was blue green clay on the banks that day as we left the world behind
