Daily Ritual Lyrics

Iʼve been avoiding it, the daily ritual
Youʼd think Iʼd freeze up, youʼd think Iʼd lie down
Your mirrorʼs lying, yeah you look wonderful
But I can sense it, around the corner of your eyes
Youʼre hiding hatred
Hiding ancient, Pain and Sorrow

Youʼd think Iʼd freeze up, youʼd think Iʼd lie down
I wonʼt be tied down, by your nightmare
Defeated people, rotten to the core
Passing judgment, from their small ponds

The daily ritual
And is the temperature right?
The daily ritual

Theyʼll make you want it, theyʼll make you beg for it
Theyʼll make you think your, sick in the head for it
And when you witness, that itʼs barren
And make a move towards the back door
Donʼt expect a consolation prize.
Just a sickly grin and sighs, that go
on and on for years
The daily ritual
And is the temperature right?
The daily ritual.
Sneaking out through the backdoor,
To size up your rivals
And are they ready for, are they ready for the next war?

All these, all these people.
Youʼre not sorry for the way that you treated us.
Weʼre not sorry for whatʼs coming next.
A generation is growing old,
With no hope of moving on.

Sneaking out through the back door
To size up your rivals.
And are they ready for, are they ready for the next war?
