Lift the Curse

[Hook: Astronautalis] Everyone who's drinking Is already drunk or sleeping Everyone who isn't Is just too political to talk to Another summer evening The city's barely breathing Just ain't the same Without you [Verse 1: Astronautalis] There ain't no magic in materials Magic's in our words Then we whisper in each others' ears To make diamonds out of dirt There ain't no glory in the silken things Glory's in the hurt And can split your skin from end to end Down the center of the earth [Hook] I said Everyone who's drinking Is already drunk or sleeping Everyone who isn't Is just too political to talk to Another summer evening The city's barely breathing Just Ain't the same Without you [Verse 2: Astronautalis] I wasn't joking 'bout my burial Backyard's what I prefer But my landlord wouldn't like that I Gotta own a backyard first So I keep singin y'all these spirituals Pray it lifts the curse Keeps me chasing ghosts of dreams from funeral to birth In reverse (x6) Keeps me chasing ghosts of dreams from funeral to birth [Hook] Everyone who's drinking Is already drunk or sleeping Everyone who isn't Is just too political to talk to Another summer evening The city's barely breathing Just ain't the same Without you
