Ribcage - You'Re Stronger Than You Realize - Chapter 1

Hiding in my solitary cave, I can’t undo my past mistakes I regret it oh so much, but I’ll be brave And face the penalties for my sins And my spirit breaks Abiding in the foggy night, I can’t see the light in goodbye I am feeling so upset and shady, but I’ll shine bright And embrace the sunlight of freedom, Giving me a natural high Without you, I see my true colors In the mirror, I drink in my insecurities (Whisper: I’m trapped inside your ribcage) I see who you are in the inside Tragedy brews in my blood, there’s no where to hide No where to hide… (I’m trapped inside your ribcage) Don’t blink and bite the bullet See right through it See right through it See right through my pain (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…epic Holding on to you for support, I can’t survive without you by my side I will lose several times, but I’ll win and escort You to the road of eternal life and eternal happiness You and I will enjoy this bumpy ride Split apart your ribcage, Open up the corridor, and let me come in Uneasiness instantly strikes through me Let me sway away... Let me flutter away... Like a butterfly out of its cocoon I'm trapped! Let me depart You’re stronger than you realize But, my strength is immeasurable I’m a tough guy in disguise I will never, ever be instable Or caught off guard! I’m a positive, yet outlandish bard! Let me go! Departure from me, you sad, sad clouds Holding in melancholy, Blanketing me with shrouds Shrouds of despondency Let me welcome the sun, So I can be a light of the world like His son Split apart your ribcage, Unwrap me, let me go! Believe me...reflect on me Let me sway away...flutter away Let us both seek the sun, So we can grow together once more
