Ribcage - As Smooth As Butter - Chapter 2
Split apart your ribcage,
Open up the corridors in your mind, let me crawl in
This feeling of grief and panic instantly zips through me
Ripping my hopes into shreds of worthless paper
I will endure...I will endure...
The pain you inflict upon me
I'm in captivity...
dead silence and loneliness blend well
In this living hell!
Alone, I try to rip it open
Climb inside of my wounds again and again and again
You drive me insane…buckled tight unto my seat
You made me chained inside your body– that’s just neat!
I won’t miss a day without you…
When I find a way to unlock my soul
I will find the key to loosen the chains and slip out of them
You have no clue…what I’m going to do
What I have planned out all along
You made me feel like a fool in front of everybody –
I don’t feel like I belong…why do I feel so wrong?
Why do I feel so right from deep within?
But, to no avail...you win!
You win for sure...everything's caving in
Caving in on me and I'm trapped in the debris
Left in the debris for so long...
I'm living among the dead...in this grave-like place called Hell
Didn't you notice I fell?
I fell into the black hole of my mind
I'm puzzled in this maze...
Let me sway away...
Let me flutter away...
Like a butterfly out of its cocoon
I'm trapped! Let me depart
I'm lost! Find me a compass!
We welcome the sun…x2
While I lie in my solitary cave of a ribcage
We’ll survive the run before the day’s gone
I know you and I are (on a different page) x2
Please don't hurt me with your thoughtless words
Release me from this ribcage along with a thousand birds
The compass attached with your necklace will show you the way to go
You and I will discover God’s jubilant glow
Without you, I see my true colors
Without you lingering round me, I wonder how you do
As you walk away, your body blurs
You have gone away…you have strayed away from the truth
The truth that will set you free from bondage,
Overpowering you
Taking over you...haunting you...
Taking advantage of your fear
It feeds off of fear...if you only knew
What her intentions are, oh dear...
She IS the most deceptive women
She captures to fool with open arms
She appears attractive to all men
She's a pool of kerosene and charms!
She's as smooth as butter...but instead,
She cuts me in half like a chainsaw
I was emotionally unstable and she devoured me like bread
She used me as her victim! She ate me raw
Like butter on toast
That, my friends, is not something to boast about!
