Circa Survive
Rites of Investiture
[Verse 1]
Fiending children writhe
The cradle cap will fall
Rings attach the hands
Shadow black and cold

[Pre-Chorus]
Etching out a space
Forge the thumbprint fake the name
Leave without a trace
Spark the friction, breathe to the edge

[Verse 2]
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

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

[Verse 3]
Fiending wet nurse writhe
It echoes through the night
String attached to cans
We're digging with our hands
[Pre-Chorus]
Etching out a space
Forge the thumbprint, fake the name
Leave without a trace
Spark the friction, breathe to the edge

[Bridge]
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

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

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