telling myself it was over was criminal
to keep my mind mended
& my heart contained
when i told myself it was over
to keep the moment still
it was to settle my heart, my hopes, my dreams, and remind me of you
clouds parted in my head, i could see clearly,
clouds parted in my head, i could see clearly,
clouds parted in my head, i could see clearly,
clouds parted in my head
nothing but ritual
nothing but ritual
nothing but ritual
