The Curse

The journey to the top
Brings sacrifice
It’s all about who you are
And what you want inside
It’s not easy
Or the few would multiply
Better to attempt and fail
Than succeed but never try

It starts off faint
But in time grows strong
Gets in your veins
And before long

You’ve joined the ranks
Of the many and few
To risk it all
To see the vision through
Push all aside
Only focus on the thirst
Musicians know
The power of the curse

You’ve tried to love one
Understand it’s bittersweet
The song our only lover
To play our only need
We don’t intend to hurt you
But we can’t control the pangs
Our only desire
Just to be up on that stage
