Ashes Divide – Ritual 0

«Ritual»

At night when our voices are gone
The flame-thrown silhouettes line the wall
We have nothing left to say
‘Cause we use some terrible words
To get such subtle rewards
That never seem worth it to me

They say that all that we are
We can’t change
And I say that all that we are
Is dark matter anyway
So just pray
With me

You and I keep falling further away
It’s become a ritual
We stare like strangers straight through each other into the wall

And you say
When your lies and your mouth come unfurled
From the cage, theoretical stones
That mean nothing
But they go straight through me
‘Cause we use some terrible words
Which always sends me crippled into flight

You say it’s not too late
We can change
I say hurry up
And help me touch the ground tonight
Please say the words

You and I keep falling further away
It’s become a ritual
We stare like strangers straight through each other into the wall
(x2)

Do you ever think you could erase the things I’ve said?
The bitter words that you ripped from the wounds inside your head
I wanna see the blood rush back into your face
The last thing I ever wanted to do was hurt you this way
