Ritual Lyrics

VERSE 1
At night when our voices are gone, and
Flame thrown silhouettes line the wall
We have nothing left to say, cause
We used some terrible words
To get such subtle rewards
That never seemed worth it to me
PRE 1
They say the older we are we can’t change
And I say, all that we are is dark matter, any way
So just breathe, with me
CHORUS 1
You and I keep falling further away
It’s become our ritual to
Stare like strangers
Straight through each other
In to the wall
VERSE 2

You say,
When the knives in your mouth come unfurled
From encaged theoretical storms
They mean nothing
But they go straight through me, cause
We use some terrible words
Which always sends me crippled into flight
PRE 2
You say it’s not too late,
We can change, and I say
Hurry up, and help me touch the ground tonight
Please, say the words
CHORUS 2
You and I keep falling further away
It’s become our ritual to
Stare like the strangers
Straight through each other
In to the wall
OUTRO
Do you ever think you could erase the things I’ve said?
The bitter words that drip from wounds, inside your head
I want to see the blood rush back into your face
The last thing I ever wanted to do was hurt you this way
