CEREMONY LYRICS

1. Hibernation

You took pictures of your life
But stopped after awhile
Closed your eyes to faith
Shame and denial
You think now
Nothing went right
But you're wrong
You're so wrong
Are you having those dreams again?
Bodies of water
You have to get through this
Get through it all
Get through it all
Get through it all

2. Exit Fears

You told your friends you were fine
You thought you were fine too
You told your family twice
How you had climbed up

But nothing in this world is fine
Nothing ever feels right
You have to tell yourself you tried
You tried
You tried
You tried
You tried

The pain will leave in the night
Memories return in the light
The pain will leave in the night

No one would find out
No one would find out

It started as a way to get by
You thought you'd survive through
You were lonely and wanted to die
That's just a weight you confide

But nothing in this world survives
Nothing ever feels right
You have to tell yourself you tried
You tried
You tried
You tried
You tried

The pain will leave in the night
Memories return in the light
The pain will leave in the night
Memories return in the light
The pain will leave in the night

No one would find out
No one would find out
No one
Would find out

3. Bleeder

Are you calling old friends again?
Have you forgotten how to live?
You stood screaming in your room
There was no one there
No one heard

You desire to be seen
You’re backing down the hallway again
You slept through entire days
‘Til human voices wake you and you drown

You’ve become careless about time
Your soul seems to be in a knot
Have you been watching the sun rise?
Don’t fall into the fire

4. Your Life In France

You remember sitting inside the café
Selfishly aware of things You couldn’t change
Edith was buried down the same street
‘Give your heart & soul to me’

You remember the first time You called
Life arranged by feelings You felt
Standing in the snow
Always gone
The door in the floor
Always closed

You sat down on the patio
watched the cars go by
Heard the splash from Icarus
Falling from the sky
There was something You couldn’t move
You couldn’t be
Love turned into reasoning
Became so harrowing

People You loved
Places You saw
Portions are gone

5. Your Life In America

You don’t want to leave from here
Tied to the pain of passing the years
Passing the touch
You know it by heart
Like not getting enough

Wandering around
Looking up
You come to a place
You just want to stop
You want to give up
If you don’t care where you are
You’re not lost

6. The Separation

Pieces of time
Thrown from the bow
Five years away
You never figured it out
When she closed the door
You feel down
You started throwing yourself
You started throwing yourself

Can you measure the loss?
[repeat]

Pieces of time
Thrown from the bow
Five years away
You never figured it out
When she closed the door
You feel down
You started throwing yourself
You started throwing yourself

Can you measure the loss?
[repeat]

7. The Pattern

He walked into the room
Paid the working man
The change was physical
It’s happening again

It will always be there
Those strange happenings
He taught you how to see again
He’ll always be your friend

Those early years
Felt so unclean
You tried to walk away
But it’s happening again

8. Root Of The World

Underneath you can't escape the sound
Within this room
Boom boom
You pump the blood in and out

The root of the world is in the red heart

Poisoning the body distracts the mind
From what it needs
You couldn't sleep
You couldn't eat
Couldn't think
Chewing your fingers to the quick
With the intimacy of her cigarette
Lips lungs teeth

9. The Party

You can’t remember
The face of a person you used to know
Did you even know them?
Did you ever really know?
Sitting at the party
On the stairs
They came back to you
They always come back to you

Some of those people
You used to love
Somehow it hurts to know
They’re gone from you
You should have known all along

After you’re feeling low
Small pains start to come
Try to forget the smell
You have to go
Someone’s behind you

10. The Bridge

Inside the bridge
You suddenly felt calm
Simply passing through the world
And remembered The Man with the Wooden Arm
How hard it must have been?

You saw yourself walking with no one else
And it scared you
The thought
But your heart was just asleep that night
No dreams at all

It’s nothing like you ever thought

Why do you break sometimes when you’re alone?
Is it the feeling of heavy loss?
You don’t think about her anymore
But you still lie

Going out and
Finding other things
It didn’t hurt
It didn’t feel like anything

11. The Understanding

The color in the trees started changing
It got colder inside that house
You drove through a golden field
Fell asleep at the wheel of time

And it felt like you’d never come down
From that place inside your chest
That feeling may never stop

While your dreams warned you of the bad
All your problems would never fix
Nothing was ever right with you

When you try to fall asleep tonight
Remember who’s here with you
Everyone you ever knew
Everyone you ever touched

Baby –

Say that it’s over
