[Verse 1]

Pen to paper with invisible ink

Displaying honesty with nothing to show

Recanting the taste of the knife

A sweet to bury me forever

We're trapped in casings made of arsenic and inclinations

Indigence from the heart trudging on so unfulfilled

[Pre-Chorus]

I haven't been so much as thrilled to be alive

For I am cursed and holding on

To this semblance of a life

[Chorus]

I cannot shake

The jinx that's applied

The haunts that encroach

A rain that won't dry

I'm drinking my options

And dying of thirst

The shadows still lingering

For I am cursed

The lights have been dim lit

The candles burned wet

No shelter to house this

A plague that can't set

A scratch at this ulcer

A prayer that it bursts

A longing for solace

For I am cursed

[Verse 2]

Mouth to bottle with a hunger for regret

Paralyzed in an infant state

Our feelings benumbed by our consumptions

Every kiss a coat to peel and flake

Habituation a crutch which once brought solace

Now choleric as there is no other choice

Cauterize the wounds which exposures

Smoldering ache which begat the vice

[Pre-Chorus]

I've never felt such vapid space behind my eyes

For I am cursed and moving past

The orchestrator of these cries

[Chorus]

I cannot shake

The jinx that's applied

The haunts that encroach

A rain that won't dry

I'm drinking my options

And dying of thirst

The shadows still lingering

For I am cursed

The lights have been dim lit

The candles burned wet

No shelter to house this

A plague that can't set

A scratch at this ulcer

A prayer that it bursts

A longing for solace

For I am cursed
