lyrics

Without you
Who could I be
Who am I
Without hurting

Give it time
And no apologies
Passing time
Out of my body

You want me sad
You want me alone
I give you my name
And body to take from
I’ll be the bad one
And you won’t have to sacrifice at all
Welcome to the hurting ritual
Welcome to the hurting ritual

I’ll abuse
Myself in your place
Just for you
I forfeit all of my boundaries

Is it always pain
In the place of love
Only escaping
In party drugs

You want me sad
You want me alone
I give you my name
And body to take from
I’ll be the bad one
And you won’t have to sacrifice at all
Welcome to the hurting ritual
Welcome to the hurting ritual

If it's a choice between us
And surviving
I choose me
I choose me

If it’s a choice between us
And surviving
I choooooose me

You want me dead
You want me at home
You want to give me all of my worth
You want the ritual
And you want it to hurt

You want me scared
You want me confused
You want to keep me quiet about the abuse
You want the ritual
And you want it to hurt
You want to be the one with all the power

You want me sad
You want me alone
I give you my name
And body to take from
I’ll be the bad one
And you won’t have to sacrifice at all
Welcome to the hurting ritual
Welcome to the hurting ritual
Welcome to the hurting ritual
Welcome to the hurting ritual
Welcome to the hurting ritual
Welcome to the hurting ritual
