Kelly, Ruston - Black Magic Lyrics






Halloween is here with me you left 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

Kelly, Ruston Black Magic Comments
  1. A.... L....

    Like a Halloween 2019

  2. A.... L....

    Halloween 2019? 🎃🎃

  3. b.... ....

    Okay so has anyone heard the "downstairs" version?? Does anyone know the name of the second fragment he uses in the song??

  4. M.... D....

    Love ain't nothing more than black magic

    I heard about matt dieringer

    The high horse fagette

    He drank the posion

    And now I write this song

    Enjoy the coat rusty I'm sure it's velvet for ya

  5. M.... M....

    Is this album also available on CD (bought the download already but would love to have it on disc with cover)?

  6. m.... ....

    I read some of the comments on how some of you arrived at Ruston Kelly's video of Black Magic. I'm here due to just listening to all of Kacey Musgraves work, starting on Friday. Then after finishing listening to her latest Golen Hour on repeat, and just absorbing everything about her that I could read or listen to, led to her husband, Ruston Kelly! Both are powerhouses when it comes to making music, in my opinion! When I finished listening to all of Kacey Musgraves 'pure art' I put on Ruston Kelly's, starting on Saturday afternoon! This dude is phenomenal! I understand he first came back to the music scene with a publishing deal to get him back in the game, then finally started to record his own stuff! If this is where he started, with the Halloween EP, and just did the album 'Dying Star', can't wait to find out what's next, and where he is going to end up! I can't stop listening. When I do, the songs just keep playing inside my head until I put them back on again. Either the computer, Alexa or iPhone, can't stop listening. Kacey Musgrave's win last night for Album of the Year at the Grammy's was more than deserved. When I listen to earlier stuff and listen to Golden Hour, can hear the progression of pure beauty and "directly from the soul" the same as with Ruston Kelly. I can't help but wonder if the two of them are going to record something together. Only makes sense to me since their writing styles are both prolific, can only imagine the masterpiece the two of them could complete and privilege all of us with releasing to all of our ears to listen to and put on repeat, once again! I don't know about the rest of you, but damn, if I don't hear Johnny Cash coming through his pipes on some of these tracks, gives me the chills!!! I don't believe he's doing on purpose, I do believe it's just his voice and the way he sounds. I have now found two male artists, in less than a week, that have been able to give me chills while listening to their recording's. I will admit it, this dude brought tears to my eyes with Poison. If you can't relate, you haven't had a really toxic relationship! Consider yourself lucky if in your late 20's early 30's, (hell any age) n you have been spared the drama of one. However, for the ones like myself that have had a toxic relationship, I can definitely relate to Black Magic and Poison, Hollywood, hell all his damn tracks! The back story for Ruston Kelly is just as amazing as his talent! Brother keep doing it 'one day at a time'! If you can do it, all of us can!!! Now knowing the background will have you in the prayers! If you're this prolific, with words and music, all of us are going to be on the edge of our seats waiting to see and hear more from you in the future. You definitely have a new fan here, even at the expense of annoying my family due to having you and Kacey Musgraves on repeat for three days, lol!
