"RITUAL" lyrics

"What if I want to have sex before I get married?"
"Well, I guess you just have to be prepared to die."

My inner child needs a bulletproof vest
And a phone that can't text
And twenty years rest
Build a bomb shelter
Bite a belt for the stress
Never know what's next (next)
Sleeping with my clothes on
In case shit goes wrong
Gotta clear my front lawn off
Sleeping with my clothes on
In case shit goes wrong
Gotta clear my front lawn off

Melatonin eyes feel heavy tonight
I could sleep for weeks
And speak in Z's
Don't look for me
Don't look for me

They're killing me
When I'm fast asleep
Are you hearing me?
When I say you're bleeding me out
With all the things you don't say
I'm living fucking betrayed
Living like I'm dead and on my own
You're killing me when I'm fast asleep
Like a ritual

My inner child needs a bulletproof vest
And a phone that can't text
And twenty years rest
Build a bomb shelter
Bite a belt for the stress
Never know what's next (next)
Sleeping with my clothes on
In case shit goes wrong
Gotta clear my front lawn off
Sleeping with my clothes on
In case shit goes wrong
Gotta clear my front lawn off

Melatonin eyes feel heavy tonight
I could sleep for weeks
And speak in Z's
Don't look for me
Don't look for me

They're killing me
When I'm fast asleep
Are you hearing me?
When I say you're bleeding me out
With all the things you don't say
I'm living fucking betrayed
Living like I'm dead and on my own
You're killing me when I'm fast asleep
Like a ritual

(Eight, seven, six, five, four, three)

My inner child needs a bulletproof vest
And a phone that can't text
And twenty years rest
Build a bomb shelter
Bite a belt for the stress
Never know what's next
Sleeping with my clothes on
In case shit goes wrong
Gotta clear my front lawn off
Sleeping with my clothes on
In case shit goes wrong
Gotta clear my front lawn off

Yeah, woo
(Shut the fuck up)
