Born With This Curse

Lyrics

Verse 1
Wake up this curse in my veins
I was built with a crack in the frame
Max the power out, let it shake
Hear that thunder learn my name

Hands in the fire, I don’t flinch
Every bruise turns into a switch
What was a chain on my wrists
Turns into a blade when I twist

Pre-Chorus
Use it for good
Use it for evil
Use it for neither
I’ve got the wheel now

Use it for good
Use it for evil
Call it a fever
I wear it well now

Chorus
Born with this curse
Born with this curse
I turn it loose
I choose what it serves
Born with this curse
Born with this curse
If I fall down hard
I rise with more nerve

(Born with this curse)
(Born with this curse)

Verse 2
Some want a saint, some want a ghost
Some want the worst, some want the most
I’ve seen the split in my chest
It can bless or break, I know

So I walk straight through the smoke
With a grin and a locked-up hope
If the dark comes close to me
I make it kneel, then I let it go

Pre-Chorus
Use it for good
Use it for evil
Use it for neither
I’ve got the wheel now

Use it for good
Use it for evil
Call it a fever
I wear it well now

Chorus
Born with this curse
Born with this curse
I turn it loose
I choose what it serves
Born with this curse
Born with this curse
If I fall down hard
I rise with more nerve

(Born with this curse)
(Born with this curse)

Bridge
I was never made to be clean
I was made to be seen
Every scar on me
Says I’m still in between

So judge if you want
I won’t bow, I won’t break
I can save, I can burn
I can give, I can take

Final Chorus
Born with this curse
Born with this curse
I turn it loose
I choose what it serves
Born with this curse
Born with this curse
If I fall down hard
I rise with more nerve

Born with this curse
Born with this curse
Use it for good
Use it for what I deserve

(Born with this curse)
(Born with this curse)
