Rituals of Shame versuri

Versuri Warning – Rituals of Shame lyrics

When the shadows are of strangers
And their faces are the same
And their voices pour down like poison
Then I rub the human stain

And I flounder for the outlines
And I never find just one
Of the missing corner pieces
And my eyes can’t see enough

With unsparing clear images running
Through the lantern of the soul
I must watch in petrified silence
And I can’t close my eyes to it

I can’t close my eyes to it
I can’t close my eyes to it
I can’t close my eyes to it
I can’t close my eyes to it
I can’t close my eyes to it
I can’t close my eyes to it

I can’t close my eyes, I can’t raise a hand
To cover my eyes to the hell of it all

Trembling and dumb, between us is the test of a love that I can’t win
You’re watching my eyes, but you don’t know the flame I’m feeding, where all time exists
It’s easier to separate the silence from the face that I hide when l am it

And here, in the central hour of my life, all experience bursts in on me
Pulling me into the shame of the most base rituals of humiliation
It’s not in the darkness of certainty that I need you most
But in an ever-living, self-defeating horror that follows me wherever I fall
