False rituals is a broad brush commentary on social media and specifically the negative aspects. The doom scrolling, the addiction and the anxiety it all creates.
We feel this song perfectly encapsulates ‘our’ sound, and is a great pre cursor for what’s to come…

Lyrics:

Drawn in by future mistakes
Falling into
This chamber, repeating the pain
Seeking to change but I know I won’t

Trust in false rituals
Time given away
Lost in habitual moments
We feel no closure

Still we push forward with idle hands.
Endless.
So much to see.
We’re starved, so we feed.

Unable to satiate.
The fault’s my own.
No sleep in the bed I’ve made.

Trust in false rituals
We are lost
In the habitual
It’s cyclical

Self loathe.
Is this the product of a lonely cycle? A blame that’s taking hold?
Is this the part of me that I can’t control?

Trust in false rituals

We are lost.
Ritual.
Habitual.
Cyclical.
