The Crane Wives - Curses
[clicking]-Linlesses of Happy, Leaf, and Tide
[instrumental]-Happy minding his business, seeing portal, going through
There's a fire in my brain and I'm burning up-Happy first wakes up in pheonix academy
Oh my, oh my-Tide and Conifer say this
Keep running for the sink, but the well is dry-Happy is reading and looking for answers
Oh my, oh my-Happy says this, holding his head, and Jastin says it as he comes in
Every word I say is kindling-Happy searching the bookshelves for answers
But the smoke clears when you're around-Tide comes over to him
Won't you stay with me, my darling-Happy sings this, dancing playfully around the library with Tide
When my walls start burning down, down, down-Tide tips his head to the side curiously.
[instrumental]-Happy and Tide studying in the library
[instrumental pt2] - Shows Leaf on one side, Tide on the other, and Happy in the middle
This house says my name like an elegy-Tide and Leaf start fighting
Oh my, oh my-Leaf tries to mind control Tide, Happy and Compass intercept.
Echoing where my ghosts all used to be-Happy listens as Tide retells his backstory
Oh my, oh my-Tide leans into Happy and he comforts his (more than) friend
There's still cobwebs in the corners-Happy is going through an empty corridor
And the backyard's full of bones-He finds a book at the end
Won't you stay with me, my darling-Happy reads the book
When this house don't feel like home?-He stares at it in shock and horror
When this house don't feel like home-And squeezes his eyes shut trying to block everything out
Oh ashes, ashes, dust to dust-When he says this, he's standing in front of [ERROR]
The devil's after both of us-He says this under his breath, eyes narrowed
Ooh, lay my curses out to rest-[ERROR] hands Happy a scroll.
Make a mercy out of me-Happy stares at [ERROR] as they disappear
[instrumental]-Happy spending more and more time in the library
This tired old machine is a-rumbling-Tide trying to coax Happy out of the library
Oh my, oh my-Happy says this, a bit overwhelmed
Singing songs to the secrets behind my eye-Tide asks Happy what's worrying him and he looks away
Oh my, oh my-Happy walks off.
All my aching bones are trembling-Happy is standing in front of an open door
And I may yet fall apart-pans into the room, Tide is there unconscious
Won't you stay with me, my darling-Happy says this desperately
When the war starts in my heart?-[ERROR] Stands behind Happy
When the war starts in my heart-Happy stares ahead of him, slowly blinded by rage
Oh ashes, ashes, dust to dust-He turns on [ERROR], screaming this at them
The devil's after both of us-[ERROR] Reminds him that he says this
Ooh, lay my curses out to rest-[ERROR] says this
Make a mercy out of me-[ERROR] Tries to ask Happy to forgive them
Oh ashes, ashes, dust to dust-Happy yells this
Tell me I am good enough-He yells this, flaring out his wings, crying
Ooh, lay my curses out to rest-He takes out the scroll that [ERROR] gave him
Make a mercy out of-And rips it
[clicking]-Screen goes black.
