Ribcage - Unapologetic Or Sympathetic - Chapter 3

Subsiding from the morning’s light, I can’t see the hopes of Tomorrow I am dealing with stress on a high level, but I’ll stay with you tonight And wrap you up with adorned glory and put out the fire of sorrow, Giving us (a heavy load of dread…)x2 I dropped dead (I dropped dead) Where’s my head!? Don't strangle me with your tainted love…please see what hope brings Don't tangle me up with your heartless hatred "Don't move a muscle,” she whispers to me as pleasant as a fluttering dove wings I’ll try to put all of my distrust and apprehension to bed In the mirror, I drink in my insecurities (I’m trapped inside your ribcage) x2 Tragedy brews in my blood, there’s no where to hide I am crucified by your absence of love… Where’s the love? Buried up above? Buried up above? (whisper: above…x3) (I’m trapped inside your ribcage!!!!) Don’t blink and bite the bullet (Oooh! Oh oh oh oh yeah) Bite the bullet See right through it See right through my pain Dripping endlessly like acid rain, Scorching my skin aflame (Feelin’ this shame x2) without a name I’m trapped inside your ribcage You’ll see my despair – The throbbing heart can’t bear The thought of losing you again (I’m trapped inside your ribcage) I’ll remain unapologetic Until you rescue me from my demise, That would be so…mesmeric Apologies accepted? Light up your wick! We will hold up our candles (in a chorus of joy x2) I'm guilty for being so unapologetic I'll try to be more sympathetic I’m more than happy to see you shine Shine effortlessly in the moonlight I wish you were mine, which would be mighty fine Move forward and walk the road of recovery I’ll scare away the horrifying night (The spooky night…devouring the light) Fear not the arrows, flying in all directions In the dead of night Let go of anguish…let go of the past infections Or you’ll lose touch of delight And you’ll lose grip of His overflowing might I think I’m lost in your paradise Where you and I used to dwell in mirth Lost, but never found - I’m living a hell on Earth I’m that bothersome fly that swarms around you – (something you should despise) x2 I’ll erase the bad days and replace them with the good I would do anything for you… I would walk on hot coals for you… If I had the guts, I would go for it! Our love is a gold nugget to discover in the soil You’re an apple to my eye, I will be your shield in battle, you anoint me with olive oil~~~ I won’t let you pass away in the dust Our love is a sacred, lucky oath – it will never rust
