Do You Believe in the Power of a Curse? Lyrics

I'm walking on a tight rope

No net beneath my feet

Got a gun in my hand

Filled with bullets of hope

The face of god

I'm bout to meet

It's been a sin

To live in the skin I'm in

I bark and bite

I burn so bright

You lose your goddamn eyes

Strike a match and light the candle

Live to feed the flames

You can paint me like "the vandal"

But I won't keep living with your shame

If my phantom is gone with yesterday

That's just the curse of being human

So I won't keep digging my own

And I will never let you take my home

The one I've built

The one I've bled for

Just to call my own

I carved this space

Foundation laced

With blood and spit

You'll know

You'll know

You'll know that I exist

Strike a match and light the candle

Live to feed the flames

You can paint me like "the Vandal"

But I won't keep living with your shame

If my phantom is gone with yesterday

That's just the curse of being human

So I won't keep digging

Ashes to ashes

Dust to dust

Misplaced divinity

Left to rust

Switchblade symmetry

Carve into flesh

Remove the cancer

Start over

Fresh

My sister's sleep

Let's start anew

My brother's keepsake

I've lost it's shape

Strike a match and light the candle

Live to feed the flames

You can paint me like "the Vandal"

But I won't keep living with your shame

If my phantom is gone with yesterday

That's just the curse of being human

So I won't keep digging my own

Ashes to ashes

Dust to Dust

Misplaced divinity

Left to rush

Ashes to Ashes

Dust to Dust

Misplaced Divinity

Left to rush

Sever all my ties

Phantom threads to the host

I cannot

I will not

I won't give up the ghost
