Lyrics

I stood in the pale light on the edge of becoming
Like something forgotten was calling me home
People kept talking but I couldn't hear them
Every old version of me coming undone
Phone screens glowing, strangers passing by
I caught my reflection and I don't know why
For one second something stared back at me
Not who I was
Who I could be
Heartbeat
Black smoke
World slow motion
One touch
One spark
One door open
This is the ritual
Step through the fire and into the unknown
Leave every version they wanted behind
Out of the dark and into divine
This is the ritual
No more disguises, no more control
I hear the future calling my name
Nothing that touches me stays the same
Streetlights shattered across the wet pavement
City still moving while I stood still
Every old warning started dissolving
Under the weight of a powerful thrill
I felt the current run through my body
Grief turning gold inside of the pain
Like every scar was leading me somewhere
Closer to something I couldn't explain
Deep breath
Cold air
Light through my body
No fear
No shame
Nothing can stop me
This is the ritual
Step through the fire and into the unknown
Leave every version they wanted behind
Out of the dark and into divine
This is the ritual
No more disguises, no more control
I hear the future calling my name
Nothing that touches me stays the same
If I disappear tonight
Let it be into the light
Not a ghost of who I've been
But the dream within
Ahhhhhhh
Ahhhhhhh
I was never made to stay small
This is the ritual
Born from the ashes, electric and gold
Every horizon opening wide
Finally feeling fully alive
This is the ritual
Higher and higher I'm shedding the old
No looking back at who I became
I crossed the line and nothing's the same
Ritual
Ritual
Ritual
I became
Something more
