Black Magic - Ruston Kelly

Halloween is here with me, you left it in this home

Stitches on my body, closets full of bones

Blood that won’t stop running, ‘cause this wound won’t ever clot

Like the ringing in my ears that don’t ever seem to stop

I hear voices from the basement, scratching on the roof

Seeing visions of you wasted, mumbling to the moon

Conjuring some darkness from the shadows in your room

Where I sold my hallelujah, when I laid my soul in you

Love ain’t nothing more than black magic

You better want what you wish for

It might happen

Day awakes the night, and then I die for what I’ve done

Asphyxiating slow below an ugly setting sun

I try to breathe, but yellow smoke keeps burning up my lungs

I found the words to say, but they just blister on my tongue

Love ain’t nothing more than black magic

You better want what you wish for

It might happen

I drank your poison

Fell under your spell

Love is hell and nothing more than black magic

Love is like a bag of drugs, it blows out both your knees

Innocence gets tangled when you hang it on a string

Both our eyes were foggy glass, too high to ever see

The devil’s sleight of hand, twisting fate with ancient ink

‘Cause love ain’t nothing more than black magic

You better want what you wish for

It might happen

I drank your poison

Fell under your spell

Love is hell and nothing more than black magic

You better want what you wish for

It might happen
