Rites

[Verse 1]
In dire need, in hot pursuit
I don't blame you for the things you do
In fading light, in dying throes
We're going down in holy smoke

In Diocesan rites like these
We disobey, we bay and bleed
It's just a phase we're going through
It's all I ever want to do

I want to beat the Pilgrim's Road
Pill grimaces and and brilliant jokes
It wants for you to feel alone when you are not alone

[Chorus]
So run, run ragged, run, goddammit
Keep it from the ones you love
So run, run ragged, run, goddammit
Until you're sure it's bad enough

[Verse 2]
So much for everything being different
So much for anything changing
A bloody palm, a point of pride
Another act of punctuation

Because it's harder saying sorry
Than it ever was to lie
Or getting stoned before I black out
So that I don't start a fight

It's just way easier to do that than it ever was to feel this
Easier to be strong and unafraid of weakness

It makes my brain feel like the water at the bottom of the bin
Not filling every empty inch between my skin and your skin

Between my skin and your skin
Between my skin and your skin
Not filling every empty inch between my skin and your skin

[Outro]
In dire need, in hot pursuit
I don't blame you for the things you do
In fading light, in dying throes
We're going down in holy smoke

In Diocesan rites like these
We disobey, we bay and bleed
It's just a phase we're going through
It's all I ever want to do

It's all I ever want to do
It's all I ever want to do
It's just a phase we're going through
It's all I ever want to do
