ribcage (awakening) Lyrics

Two in blue

Officers at my door

Eyes tell all

Feet are glued to the floor

Name on card

Detective, tell me more

Open case

Prepare for what's in store

Mom, I didn't ask for this

You're the only one that knew half of it

Now I'm the only half in this sack of shit

Our pain entwined / no comparison

My heart to break

Your soul at stake

My life as prey

Your will at play

Before I crack under stories untold

Before my wounds cauterize, forever fold

Before the ink dries, demons take hold

I crave refuge in the only truth I've ever known

Under the eyes of the many

I finally am what they can't see

Awakening

Keeps me from breaking

Offer my heart to be born anew

Throwing my rib cage into full view

Awakening

Keeps me from breaking

Offer my heart to be born anew

Throwing my rib cage into full view

Thought I was dreamin'

But you gave my nightmares meanin'

Feel the spill / the quill is bleadin'

Contract held / is that you schemin'

Demon smiles / I'm screamin'

Someone help / I'm pleadin'

Ghosts inside / not leavin'

Tell me why, give me a reason

Awakening

Keeps me from breaking

Offer my heart to be born anew

Throwing my rib cage into full view

Awakening

(Before I crack under memories untold)

Keeps me from breaking

(Before my wounds cauterize, forever fold)

Awakening

(Before the ink dries, demons take hold)

Keeps me from breaking

(I crave refuge in the only truth I've ever known)

I just want somewhere to breathe

Anything to relieve me

Somewhere to put my mind at ease

Somewhere to put my mind at ease

I just want somewhere to breathe

Anything to relieve me

Can I put my mind at ease

Anyone see me

Awakening

Keeps me from breaking

Offer my heart to be born anew

Throwing my rib cage into full view

Awakening

(Before I crack under memories untold)

Keeps me from breaking

(Before my wounds cauterize, forever fold)

Save me

(Before the ink dries, demons take hold)

Please don't break me

(I crave refuge in the only truth I've ever known)
