“RITUAL” is a fast, angry and aggresive track from INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. It features dark vocals, remeniscent of metal tracks. It is undeniably the “heaviest” Waterparks has ventured.
The lyrics deal with Knight’s religious trauma, which he explained to be a key theme of the album in a Tweet.

[Intro]
What if I want to have sex before I get married?
Well, I guess you just have to be prepared to die
[Verse]
My inner child needs a bulletproof vest and a phone that can't text
And twenty years rest
Build a bomb shelter, bite a belt for the stress
Never know what's next, next
Sleepin' with my clothes on in case shit goes wrong
Gotta clear my front lawn off
Sleepin' with my clothes on in case shit goes wrong
Gotta clear my front lawn off
[Pre-Chorus]
Melatonin eyes feel hеavy tonight
I could sleep for weeks and speak in Z's
Don't look for me, don't look for me
[Chorus]
Thеy're killin' me when I'm fast asleep
Are you hearin' me when I say you're bleedin' me out?
With all the things you don't say, I'm livin' fuckin' betrayed
Livin' like I'm dead and on my own
You're killin' me when I'm fast asleep
Like a ritual (Yeah)
[Verse]
My inner child needs a bulletproof vest and a phone that can't text
And twenty years rest
Build a bomb shelter, bite a belt for the stress
Never know what's next, next
Sleepin' with my clothes on in case shit goes wrong
Gotta clear my front lawn off
Sleepin' with my clothes on in case shit goes wrong
Gotta clear my front lawn off
[Pre-Chorus]
Melatonin eyes feel heavy tonight
I could sleep for weeks and speak in Z's
Don't look for me, don't look for me
[Chorus]
They're killin' me when I'm fast asleep
Are you hearin' me when I say you're bleedin' me out?
With all the things you don't say, I'm livin' fuckin' betrayed
Livin' like I'm dead and on my own
You're killin' me when I'm fast asleep
Like a ritual
[Interlude]
(Eight, seven, six, five, four, three)
[Verse]
My inner child needs a bulletproof vest and a phone that can't text
And twenty years rest
Build a bomb shelter, bite a belt for the stress
Never know what's next
Sleepin' with my clothes on in case shit goes wrong
Gotta clear my front lawn off
Sleepin' with my clothes on in case shit goes wrong
Gotta clear my front lawn off
[Outro]
Yeah, woo
(Shut the fuck up)
