The Blessing and the Curse

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Sean McCulloch] Get me back to the days when I felt young When love was beautiful Not just a touch to con Over these years I've deadened my nerves Friction for validation Take me back, take me back [Chorus: Sean McCulloch] You are the blessing And I am the curse I'm ready to run like a child Away from the hell I deserve [Verse 2: Sean McCulloch] Waiting in this darkened room You're still fresh on my lungs (you're still fresh on my lungs) Hoping for a sign to prove I'm over the edge Cut me from what's burnt on my eyes Cut me away I still wear you branded on my skin [Chorus: Sean McCulloch] You are the blessing And I am the curse I'm ready to run like a child Away from the hell I deserve You are the garden And I am the drought I'm emptied over the weeks away Too fond of this bed to see it out Too fond of this bed to see [Guitar Solo] [Bridge: Brennan Chaulk] Are my roots too low? Am I drying up too fast to follow? Have my veins run dry? Will I ever hear your voice again Or feel your healing hand? [Outro: Sean McCulloch, Brennan Chaulk] (Even in the storm, I can hear you now) Cut me away from the lies that this world has fed me (You're still there, you call be back) Give me a sign, I still wear her branded on my skin (Even in the storm, I can hear you now) Show me love for how you meant it to be (You're still there, you call me back) Take me back (Even in the storm, I can hear you now) Lest I run headfirst into my lust (You're still there, you call me back) And further away from any future trust
