Lyrics

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 said 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 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 oh oh
Ashes ashes
Dust to dust​
​The devil’s after both of us​
​Oh
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 oh oh
Ashes ashes
Dust to dust​
​The devil’s after both of us​
​Oh
Lay my curses out to rest​
​Make a mercy out of me
Oh oh oh oh oh
Ashes ashes
Dust to dust​​
Tell me I am good enough
​Oh
Lay my curses out to rest​
​Make a mercy out of...
...end​...
