lyrics

The Real Thing

So many directions that I could’ve gone
But I picked one
So many different ways to move and shake
If you move on

In the darkness of the witching hour
I feel a power supply
Following a certain kind of ritual
Under candlelight

Sacrifice is a real thing

How do you deal with your pain
What’s your pleasure
Would you rather bury the wedding ring
Or marry the buried treasure

It’s the measure of a man that’s so demanding
It’s the way I walk in solitude
It’s the way I’ll never grasp an understanding
Of your bad mood

It’s the measure of a man that’s so demanding
It’s the way I walk in solitude
It’s the way I’ll never grasp an understanding
Of your bad mood

Sacrifice is a real thing
And I’m doing the real thing

It’s the measure of a man that’s so demanding
It’s the way I walk in solitude
