Ribcage

Living in the darkness

I wear it like a crown

Oh I've got tough skin

Ready for my bow

All I've got is two hands

I tied them in the middle

Ready for the red tape

Open up my ribcage

I offer souvenirs

A deaf tongue and blinded ears

Can you fill the shelves in here

Come in come in

Everybody look around

Everybody look around

I don't know how to fill the space

The invitations on the page

Open up my ribcage

I want you want to want me

Like I'm all you got

Mama she see it

But can't make me stop

Telling the truth it might mean

You keep poking but that didn't hurt

That's my method of coping

Daughter sees him like

That smoke in my lungs

What they project on me

What I've become

Down on my knees

Unsure what to say

No I never learned how to pray

Don't know know

Who I've been fooling

But you've got me running

In circles I'm ruined

Let you inside

Opened up all my wounds

Taken my ribcage and ripped it in two

Everybody look around

Everybody look around

I don't know how to fill the space

The invitations on the page

Open up my ribcage

Tie it from my tendons

Watch how they stretch

Oh I've got the muscle

Lord I'm spent

Knocking down my sternum

Again at a young age

Too much space between

Open up my ribcage

I offer souvenirs

A deaf tongue and blinded ears

Can you fill the shelves in here

Come in come in

Everybody look around

Everybody look around

I don't know how to fill the space

The invitations on the page

Open up my ribcage

There's impenetrable silence

Inside of my head

There's nothing I can buy

When I'm practically dead

I get so tired of writing everything

I should have said

That maybe this time

I'll put my pen down

And just tell you instead

You see I opened up my ribcage

And violins flew out

The organs softly played

Through my violin mouth

I got lights hotter than love

Hidden beneath my tongue

Written on my skin

Tells me your the one

Everybody look around

Everybody look around

I don't know how to fill the space

The invitations on the page

Open up my ribcage

Open up my ribcage

Open up my ribcage

Open up my ribcage

Open up my ribcage
