lyrics

The curses run down my walls into the carpet and when it's soaked we drag it out into the street.
You keep smoking like a chimney on fire hovering over my head while I try to read.
I sent men back to fight for me before the weatlhy houses so I could stay home sticking needles in my leg.
I held you closer than my closest enemies.
Now I curse your name incessantly.

I dove into the tunnel. I drove into every single sin.
I came out the other end with riches unlike other men.
I'm desperate but I'm no idiot.
I'm paying for my tresspasses legitimate.

This is not a war when no one's getting rich yet.
We put it on ice as if we were begging for curses on curses on curses.
All of our purses overflow with curses.
That fucking cat died and it won't stop dying.
It lives in your hair and your eyes and it's thriving.
Flightless birds they keep on arriving,
stalking me and walking just out of my reach,
mocking me and waiting for the end of time
where we will die happy on that golden commode of mine.
We'll die high on our curses and curses and curses.
Every new verse is smothered in curses.
