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
