[Verse 1] My mother prayed for rain My father wore a crown I was born with gold in my mouth And a storm under my skin They called me blessed Then they learned my name Every kiss left a crack Every step left flame [Pre-Chorus] I tried to be a girl Tried to be a woman But the sky kept leaning close Like it knew my hand [Chorus] I’m cursed by the blood (cursed by the blood) Half god, half grave I can’t wash it off (can’t wash it off) It lives in my veins I reach for you And the dark takes aim I’m cursed by the blood (cursed by the blood) And I can’t change [Verse 2] The wolves kneel when I pass The wheat bends low Even iron tastes like ash When I ask for home I loved one mortal boy he laughed like spring But the moon marked his door And the silence that it brings [Pre-Chorus] I begged the night to stop I begged the sea But the old gods keep their debts And they’re coming for me [Chorus] I’m cursed by the blood (cursed by the blood) Half god, half grave I can’t wash it off (can’t wash it off) It lives in my veins I reach for you And the dark takes aim I’m cursed by the blood (cursed by the blood) And I can’t change [Bridge] If I touch the throne It turns to dust If I call your name It turns to rust So chain me in the earth Bury me deep If I wake again Don’t let me speak [Final Chorus] I’m cursed by the blood (cursed by the blood) Half god, half grave I can’t wash it off (can’t wash it off) It lives in my veins I reach for you And the dark takes aim I’m cursed by the blood (cursed by the blood) And I can’t change
