Rituals

One, two, three

One, two

One, two, three

One, two

Four

Every day we step into the sun

Shadow and past naturally we shun

Every day we find our feet

Maintain our patterned steps neat

And its onto this Earth

That we learned our hurt

Divining from what occurred

And keeping every second word

All these rituals we keep

to the beat we must repeat

No deviation can you seek

And these forms we must repeat

One, two, three

One, two

One, two, three

One, two

We step into the sun

The rituals just keep us neat

All these rituals we need

To rituals we must keep

All these rituals we need

To rituals we must keep

Move through heavy etched echoes

You know where every finger goes

Flexed and pulled taught

Just like you were taught

Caught in ineffective sets

Captured so like they were nets

Help to find the rhythm

When you forget to hear them

One, two, three

One, two

One, two, three

One, two

We step into the sun

The rituals just keep us neat

All these rituals we need

To rituals we must keep

All these rituals we need

To rituals we must keep

Follow along

We’re almost gone

The patterns barely hold us together

Follow along

We’re almost gone

If you stumble you’ll be done

One, two, three

One, two

One, two, three

One, two

Four
