Lyrics

Ritual

I kiss the morning light
Each day betrays the night
Takes me to this...

Lust for the visceral
Another rise and fall
Will you wake me
Can you take me

I greet the daily grind
It isn't hard to find
Shows me the way
To eat the daily bread
And taste the sweeter spread
Will you wake me
Can you shake me

LIKE THE SUN ACROSS MY FACE
I WILL BASK IN YOUR EMBRACE
TURNS ME ON AND SPINS ME 'ROUND

LIKE THE SUN ACROSS MY FACE
I'LL IGNITE IN YOUR EMBRACE
TURNS ME ON AND SPINS ME 'ROUND

Love claims a victory
Sees what it wants to see
It drives me today
And as we both arrive
We'll try to stay alive
Oh, it's in my blood
Mm, to swim the flood

Here comes the ritual
Are we consensual?

LIKE THE SUN ACROSS MY FACE
I WILL BASK IN YOUR EMBRACE
TURNS ME ON AND SPINS ME 'ROUND

LIKE THE SUN ACROSS MY FACE
I'LL IGNITE IN YOUR EMBRACE
TURNS ME ON AND SPINS ME 'ROUND

Choke

Start this willingness to break from my disguise
Leave myself for all to view
Time to quit the nest and swallowing the lies
Then I'll feel, then I'll feel

Days of diligence and testing out the scene
Helps me generate the new
Life's experiments help keep the engine clean
Time to feel, time to feel

NOW I'VE LEARNED TO OPEN EYES
WHAT I NEED TO KNOW
AND IF I TRY TO SWALLOW THE LIES
MAKE ME CHOKE

Shake my sense of what is meaningless to hide
Do things straight out of the blue
Pulling down the fence and watching us collide
Now we'll feel, how we'll feel

(Time to feel, how we feel)

Start All Over Again

Time out. At first you try and then you try again.
Wipe out. Push me so much closer to the edge.
'Cause in my time of misery I gave to you the very best in me.
Start all over again.

Wind down. Kill the sunlight force me to pretend.
I now will put this back into my humble hands.
'Cause now I know just what I need
tonight's the night we're gonna do it for me.

All these moves well justified
the will to take control denied.
