Chorus 1: But do not ask the price I pay, I must live with my quiet rage Tame the ghosts in my head that run wild and wish me dead Should you shake my ash to the wind Lord forget all of my sins Oh let me die where I lie beneath the curse of my lover's eyes Break: Verse 2: Cuz there's no drink or drug I've tried To rid the curse of these lover's eyes And I feel numb beneath your tongue Your strength just makes me feel less strong Chorus 2: But do not ask the price I pay, I must live with my quiet rage Tame the ghosts in my head that run wild and wish me dead Should you shake my ash to the wind Lord forget all of my sins Oh let me die where I lie 'neath the curse of my lover's eyes Break: Bridge: (2x) But I walk slow, I walk slow Take my hand, help me on my way. Instrumental: (4x) Bridge: (2x) Outro: (2x)
