Mathilde Santing - Beauty of the Ritual lyrics

Here's a sad case, all my friends have let me down There's no sweet taste when your luck is leaving town I'll have to swallow it all There's no shame when you lose, when you waver and fall So all I've got is that simple routine And the moves that I make are like a ritual to me I had to find a way out So I swallowed my pride and I made a new start Can't you see the beauty of the ritual A quiet concentration on the minimal But is it pain or is it pleasure, you just don't know what to feel 'cause it's all in the ritual No more sweet taste, it's supposed to be bitter What would you say if your love was leaving town I can't accept what is real So I dream up a world that belongs just to me Can't you see the beauty of the ritual A quiet concentration on the minimal But is it pain or is it pleasure, I just don't know what to feel 'cause it's all in the ritual Never knew how lonely it could be (never thought that it could get so lonely) Now I've lost it all. (I lost my fortune and my friends as well Then it seemed to me there was one solution only) There was one solution only A tribute to the ritual
