Stone and Glass
Ritual Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You had everyone, but no one has you / Your heart is freezing in your chest / You could have turned into stone / You're so fucking cold / Just look around you / You're telling nothing I don't know / No one's there to keep you warm / No one's there to give you hold / Can you count the times you broke a heart / Or shattered it like an empty glass? / You're behind bars / You had your chance / You have no heart / You have no fucking heart
