Curse is My Own Name

Intro

Ah

Mm

Ah

Verse 1

I count the stairs up to your door

Every step a stone I chose

My feet keep drifting off the path

I know the map

I burn it anyway

Pre-Chorus

Maybe you wait

Maybe you weep

Maybe you knew before I did

Chorus

My step is too hard to follow

Too hard to follow you

I can't outrun what I became

No I can't run away

My curse is my own name

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

Verse 2

The mirror holds a stranger's grin

Pale and patient

Wearing my hands

I pray with teeth I clenched so tight

Something in me likes the ache

Pre-Chorus

Maybe you call

Maybe you cry

Maybe you left the porch light on

Chorus

My step is too hard to follow

Too hard to follow you

I can't outrun what I became

No I can't run away

My curse is my own name

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

Bridge

Take it back

Take it back

Take this hunger from my ribs

I am tired

I am tired

Of the war inside my skin

Teach me softer steps

Breakdown

I am not running
