Ritual Lyrics - Keep Telling Myself It's Alright - Ashes Divide

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 cant 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 

Its 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 its 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 

Its 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 Ive 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
