Ribcage - Like a Butterfly Out of Its Cocoon - Chapter 4

I’ll remain loyal to you for eternity, but I am…
Lost in the chambers of my emotions 
Drifting away into the sea of suicide
Drifting away into the land of innocence…
There’s no where to hide
No where to hide
I’m chained to this distress…
I’m ensnared in your ribcage
How did I end up in this awful mess?
My curiosity turns into sheer rage 
The oceans spill from my eyes
Save your breath 
You’re so worthy of praise
Do not give in to death
You need a raise…you need a raise
Take your last breath
We’re spiraling down

Do me a favor and split apart your ribcage, 
Open up the prison doors and let me step inside
Uneasiness instantly strikes through me
I instantly feel eyes watch me immensely… suddenly…
Let me take wing!
Let me cheerfully sing 
To the prisoners who is forlorn
But, they are not alone 
God will act as their backbone
Release me! Revitalize my exhilaration!
Release me like a butterfly out of its cocoon!
Resurrect the gladness, not bottled up affliction 

I'm trapped! Let me depart 
You're tearing away at my heart...
Take heart, freezing heart!
Submitting to the death-cart! 
Take heart, fired-up heart! 
Release me like a Butterfly out of its cocoon
Don't look at me as if I'm some buffoon

Why was I in love in the first place?
It's like slipping on my face
While running a marathon! 
Then, all of my glory is gone -
Out the window in a jiffy

Drag me out of his ribcage!
I'm ticked off as you can see!
That you and I are on a different page
I'm overflowing with love - I'm under your spell
Under your spell 
Under your spell
Like a butterfly out of its cocoon
And fluttering with joy and dancing with my heart's elegant tune
My heart's elegant tune...
It's going to be June soon...
Let the blooms of inspiration sprout!
Get out, hideous Doubt! 
The Fields of Blasphemy is set aflame
The Fields of Avarice is breaking by the seams
The weeds in our lives is in its growth process at this very hour 
Cut them off! Cut them one by one and mend my once flourishing dreams 
My flourishing dreams were like black and white roses,
Growing wondrously in a breathtaking garden
Then, sin ruined everything and entangled us in its trap
Telling us abominable lies and it's a whole lot of cow crap! 
Disaster is unfolding, but you and I will be safe
With peace-abiding angels by our side

Split apart your ribcage, 
Unwrap me, let me go! 
I spread my wings and attempt to reach to my haven
But, I’m as obscure and odd as a raven 
Believe me...reflect on me 
Trust me…just take a good look at me
