The Ritual

I’m not the victim this time
I am but a sickness and I won’t deny it
Raised hands as victory smiles
A taste of a richness, but I can’t define it
And you just tilt your head
You made it crystal, «Never again»
I went way to far
No one can ever know that, that you came here for the truth
The ritual lies
It’s habitual lies
I was right to say that we’ve come this far
Proving just what you are
The ritual is in your eyes
I never lied, I said that I’d run away
From all that I want it to be
The ritual is in your eyes
The ritual lies
It’s habitual lies
You said that you’d come this far
Proving just what you are
The ritual is in your eyes
I never lied, I said that I’d run away
From all that I wanted to be
The ritual is in my mind
Bring on the purge. (There's no time for that.)
