The Meaning Of A Ritual by Villagers
The Meaning Of A Ritual
Intro = 2 x [1]
My love is selfish [1]
And I bet that yours is too [2]
What is this peculiar word called truth [3]
[4]
My love is selfish [1]
Ad it cares not who it hurts [2]
It will cut you out to satisfy its thirst [3]
For the meaning of a ritual so habitual and cursed [4]
My love is selfish [1]
How it separates the earth [2]
It takes every shiny stone but leaves the dirt [3]
For the cowards in the corner who just don't know what they're worth [4]
They've been twisted by a hollow kind of pain [3]
Oh I can see it in their eyes but I ignore it every day [4]
But my love is selfish [1]
And remembers everything [2]
Like the first time it was moved enough to sing [3]
How it dangled on that stage just like a puppet on a string [4]
