Catharsis - Ritualized lyrics

Scar tissue torn back to ribbons Gnawed by memory, I sit alone Skin talk, speaking in tongues YOU My shelter, my gilded cage, my pit of despair It becomes ritualized, becomes ritual lies It takes all you've got to break away To end the compromise, and to realize You're going to carry your secrets Through the gauntlet of revilers and despisers For the rest of your life Opium of cheap affection- bought and paid for by infection In the west: home... It becomes ritualized, becomes ritual lies It takes all you've got to break away To end the compromise and to realize You're going to carry your secrets To you grave Never tear us apart Never break us apart Never let them come between us Never throw it away Tear us apart Break us apart Let them come between us Throw it all Away
