Ritual

I thought that it was me, that I had some sort of

Voodoo in my brain

I thought that only I could see the summer sunset

While my eyes are filled with rain

I need power to turn on

But I do not pull the strings

I need to.

See the way that it turns out, all the other little things

Wasted and finished

It’s time to give up

I just realised that

I don’t wanna be part of this ritual anymore

I’m breaking the silence

Till I grow my branches

Walking on the earth like a demigod

Cause I never move on and I wait too long

Till I’m just a shadow in the shade of what I’ve become

And I’m too far gone

Now I can see

That you only brought me flowers so you can see me drowning in the vase

I believe

That I’m still too young to pretend that I’m anything that I’m not

Can’t you see

That you burnt my house down with the candles that you brought

I know you don’t mean it like that

But I can’t be the one that you call anymore.

I just realised that

I don’t wanna be part of this ritual anymore

I’m breaking the silence

Till I grow my branches

Walking on the earth like a demigod

‘Cause I never move on and I wait too long

Till I’m just a shadow in the shade of what I’ve become

And I’m too far gone
