When I wrote the chorus for this song I was very excited. Shelby Nokes sang a bunch on this song. If you like her:

lyrics

Drawing Down The Curses

I woke from the dream
In your eyes were the skies
In the sun, a pearl
And I know I should have trusted
But I didn’t

We rode on their backs
I was more, I was less than my time had past
And I wanted to give you shelter
But I couldn’t

Oh

Collapse of the west
When the writers of the poems could be anyone
And I wondered to myself
What have I done?

I woke in the dawns
And the dead were putting sunglasses on
And I wondered to myself
What could I have done?

Oh

But for now my time
Is drawing down the curses

Save us from the world of weeping
Widows and their honorary grieving
Know the perils such careless prayers
So let me be the first to say it
When there’s no blood there no body to betray it
Oh the timing of such wicked affairs

I woke from a dream
In your eyes were the skies
In the sun, a pearl
And I know I shouldn’t trust it
But I did it

Boys took their love
Like a swan in the mud
We were carried off
When the water turns to havoc and drowns us!

But for now my time
Is drawing down the curses

Save us from the world of weeping
Widows and their honorary grieving
Know the perils such careless prayers
So let me be the first to say it
When there’s no blood there no body to betray it
Oh the timing of such wicked affairs
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Come save us all from the world you’ve founded
Don’t wake us up, we’re leaving

Save us from the world of weeping
Widows and their honorary grieving
Know the perils such careless prayers
So let me be the first to say it
When there’s no blood there no body to betray it
Oh the timing of such wicked affairs
Oh, oh, oh, oh
