"Fortune Teller" lyrics

"Fortune Teller"

See my way, I'm the fortune teller
Picked up from earth two fallen feathers
These desperate stars are guiding me to better
My heart and soul, I wanted you forever
Holding hope in my hands, slips out like the desert sand
Like the signs that were binding us together

The truth, the truth, the ugly truth
Let me live inside my pretty lie
I lose, I lose for loving you
In the darkness all I'd do to make you mine

Throwing rose petals in your direction
Warped and betrayed for your affection
Lighting candles at the shrine, crying out to the divine
A lovers spell longing for resurrection

The truth, the truth, the ugly truth
Let me live inside my pretty lie
I lose, I lose for loving you
In the darkness all I'd do to make you mine
To make you mine

Long gone lover left a note upon my door
Now the ghost that wanders through my house don't want me anymore
Words now spread across my walls, like ashes on the floor
Fateful revelations that I never could ignore

I can't call no priest and witches, cut the rope and dig the ditch, kill my love
Screamin' in the ether, my devotion like a fever, kill my love

I once believed the fantasy, so helpless to your pull
So rest in peace the memory, you're not safe for my soul
Drive a nail in the coffin now, before I lose control
Put this lover six feet down and let the bones grow cold

And put my heart back in a box, draw a circle in the salt, kill my love
You took me to the edge and pushed me from our sacred ledge, kill my love

See my way, I'm the fortune teller
See my way, I'm the fortune teller

The truth, the truth, the ugly truth
Let me live inside my pretty lie
I lose, I lose for loving you
In the darkness all I'd do to make you mine
