Circa Survive - Rites of Investiture lyrics

Fiending children writhe
The cradle cap will fall
Rings attach the hands shadow black and cold

Etching out a space
Forge the thumbprint fake the name
Leave without a trace
Spark the friction, breathe to the edge

Stare into the tunnel's eyes
Nature is cruel, make everyone pay
This road will lead you to the end
Pacing the room, forgetting the rules

Dry rust teeming from the lip
Arms will make the gate
Buckle from the weight

Fiending wet nurse writhe
It echoes through the night
String attached to cans


We're digging with our hands

Etching out a space
Forge the thumbprint, fake the name
Leave without a trace
Spark the friction, breathe to the edge

You’re pushing for weeks before the day
Beware mirror
You've got the right to stay sedate, oh
You're panicked, depressed, corroborate
In time you'll know
You've got the right to stay sedate, oh
Don't shake the altar we tasted blood
We tasted blood

Dry rust teeming from the lip
Arms will make the gate
Buckle from the weight

Blind wince tear away the lips
Legs to push the weight
Heavy through the gate
