8.Ritual

At night when the voices that come
And flame flows through
the woods along the wall
We have nothing left to say

Because we use some terrible words
To get such subtle rewards
That never seem worth it to me
They say the older we are,
we can't change
And I say, that all that we are
Is just dark matter anyway,
so just pray with me.

You and I keep falling further away
It's become our ritual
We stare like strangers through
each other in to the wall...

And you say, when your knives
and your nails come unfurled
From the caged theoretical
storms that mean nothing
But they go straight through me
Cos we use some terrible words
Which always sends me
crippled in to flying

You say it's not too late,
we can change.
And I say, hurry up,
help me touch the ground tonight.
Please...
Say the words.

You and I keep falling further away
It's become our ritual
We stair like strangers straight
through each other in to the wall
You and I keep falling further away
It's become our ritual
We stair like strangers straight
through each other in to the wall

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