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
I never gave 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 im 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 im still too young to pretend that im 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 im too far gone
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)
I don't wanna be part of this ritual anymore
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 im too far gone
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
I never gave 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 im 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 im still too young to pretend that im 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 im too far gone
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)
I don't wanna be part of this ritual anymore
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 im too far gone
