Lyrics
Composer : Emilee Petersmark

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 is 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​...
