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 out 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 out to rest
 Make a mercy out of me
 Oh, ashes, ashes, dust to dust
 Tell me I am good enough
 Ooh, lay my curses out to rest
 Make a mercy out of
