Holy Ghost Ritual

Verse 1

Thunder shakes the holy hall

Dripping on the stone

The window pane feels far too small

I walk home all alone

Thumb is hovering right above the glass

Pre-Chorus

Just one line to pull you in

One lie to hide the skin

Underneath the bitter water

Waiting for the prayer to start

Chorus

This is my altar of a broken mind

Calling your name

Watching the rain

This is a ritual of the purest kind

Feeling the burn

Losing the turn

Beautiful crime I carry

Beautiful crime I carry

Verse 2

Marble steps are slick and cold

I forgot the way you looked at me

Copper turns to green and old

Nothing stays the way it used to be

Breath is caught in the rafters

Pre-Chorus

Just one line to pull you in

One lie to hide the skin

Underneath the bitter water

Waiting for the prayer to start

Chorus

This is my altar of a broken mind

Calling your name

Watching the rain

This is a ritual of the purest kind

Feeling the burn

Losing the turn

Beautiful crime I carry

Beautiful crime I carry

Bridge

Maybe it's a hunger

Maybe it's a haunt

Maybe it's a holy ghost

I gave up on the safety

I gave up on the quiet

I gave up on the simple truth

Chorus

This is my altar of a broken mind

Calling your name

Watching the rain

This is a ritual of the purest kind

Feeling the burn

Losing the turn

Beautiful crime I carry

Beautiful crime I carry
