Ritual

Through clenched teeth 

You say you’re okay

But I know

There’s a better way

Loosen your grip

And lose control 

There’s no time

For taking it slow 

You can be my ritual

I can be your queen

Forsaken all those

Who don’t see

This fire burns 

Out of control

As above 

So below

Electricity buzzing

Heart rate is pumping

You will feel it coming

There is no more running

Wasted offerings 

No one sees

Doubts and ghosts

Strangling growth

Jagged teeth

Gnaw at my feet

As I move

Mercilessly 

It’s the habitual ritual 

That draws me to you

Howling at the moon

Primal and new

The magic of things

Lost between

These cracks

Of reality

Electricity buzzing

Heart rate is pumping

You will feel it coming

There is no more running

You will feel it coming

There is no more running X’s 2

It’s in the dark 

When you see

All that the light

Keeps pretty

Pierce through the veil

Find your way

The moon never lies

Don’t be afraid 

Honoring those 

That came before

Finding keys

To unlock doors

Fevered dreams

Sleepless nights

I only rest

By your side

Electricity buzzing

Heart rate is pumping

You will feel it coming

There is no more running

You will feel it coming

There is no more running X’s 2

Through clenched teeth 

You say you’re okay

But I know

There’s a better way

Loosen your grip

And lose control 

There’s no time

For taking it slow 

You can be my ritual

I can be your queen

Forsaken all those

Who don’t see

This fire burns 

Out of control

As above 

So below

As above 

So below X’s 3
