The Meaning Of The Ritual |
| My love is selfish |
| And I bet that yours is too |
| What is this peculiar word called truth |
| My love is selfish |
| And it cares not who it hurts |
| It will cut you out to satisfy its thirst |
| For the meaning of a ritual so habitual and cursed |
| My love is selfish |
| How it separates the earth |
| It takes every shiny stone but leaves the dirt |
| For the cowards in the corner who just don’t know what they’re worth |
| They’ve been twisted by a hollow kind of pain |
| Oh I can see it in their eyes but I ignore it every day |
| But my love is selfish |
| And remembers everything |
| Like the first time it was moved enough to sing |
| How it dangled on that stage just like a puppet on a string |
| The meaning of a ritual |
| The meaning of a ritual |
| The meaning of a ritual |
| The meaning of a ritual |
| The meaning of a ritual |
| Oh the meaning of a ritual |
