Curses

There's a fire in my brain, and I'm burning up

Oh my, oh my

Keep running for the sink, but the well is dry

Oh my, oh my

Every word I say is kindling

But the smoke clears when you're around

Won't you stay with me, my darling

When my walls start burning down, down, down

This house says my name like an elegy

Oh my, oh my

Echoing where my ghosts all used to be

Oh my, oh my

There's still cobwebs in the corners

And the backyard's full of bones

Won't you stay with me, my darling

When this house don't feel like home?

When this house don't feel like home

Oh ashes, ashes, dust to dust

The devil's after both of us

Ooh, lay my curses all to rest

Make a mercy out of me

This tired old machine is a-rumbling

Oh my, oh my

Singing songs to the secrets behind my eye

Oh my, oh my

All my aching bones are trembling

And I may yet fall apart

Won't you stay with me, my darling

When the war starts in my heart?

When the war starts in my heart

Oh ashes, ashes, dust to dust

The devil's after both of us

Ooh, lay my curses all to rest

Make a mercy out of me

Oh ashes, ashes, dust to dust

Tell me I am good enough

Ooh, lay my curses all to rest

Make a mercy out of
