[Verse 1]

Lifetimes renewed and armored

I thought they'd carry me back

But I lost my touch

Think hallelujah daughter

Tense up and choke that new pack down


[Pre-Chorus]

All bled through I am

Clothing on your wound

Pushed aside

Revealing you the new, clean, fresh bride

Your mother drew

On that carpet

You never moved a thread

Where you'd sit

I thought that you were dead once


[Chorus]

Dressed up at home

Weather's damp and warm, but no

I won't perform your Rite of Spring

I'm not dancing up to death with a diamond ring, Lord

Pressed down like stone

I feel you cool and dry, but no

I won't perform your Rite of Spring

I'm not dancing up to death with a diamond ring, Lord


[Verse 2]

Dim shines and all your shy parades

Ten ways to drink off your will to be saved

Bring your judges down

Eating up old critics to satisfy

Tasting the mouth, touching the hand

Look in the eye


[Pre-Chorus]

All your plans set

Like fires in the buildings we left

I wanted you to smile, touch, feel

Like we never met

On that carpet

You'd never move a thread

When you'd sit

I found out you were dead once


[Chorus]

Dressed up at home

Weather's damp and warm, but no

I won't perform your Rite of Spring

I'm not dancing up to death with a diamond ring, Lord

Pressed down like stone

I feel you cool and dry, but no

I won't perform your Rite of Spring

I'm not dancing up to death with a diamond ring, Lord


[Outro]

Now I see it, now I see it

Now I see it, now I see it

Now I see it, now I see it

Now I see it, now I see it

All your plans set

Like fires in the buildings we left

I wanted you to smile
