Ribcage - Tear-Jerking Goodbyes - Chapter 5
Split apart your ribcage,
Unwrap me, for I’m left untamed
Scrub away my filthy rage
Feeling this shame that must not be named
“Let it go! Let it go!” – easy for you to say
Oh! Maybe I’ll let it go another day
Just leave me be, so I can feed off of my dismay
I spread my wings and attempt to reach for my dreams
But, I’m such a loser…it’s not what it seems
My self-esteem is broken
My loneliness is a remorse that is unspoken
Believe me...reflect on me
Give me a chance…to experience cloud seven’s ecstasy
Trust me…I know why I’m here, stranded in the middle of the wild, treacherous sea
The treacherous sea describes the way I feel, churning with hardly any dignity
Don’t fed me another spoonful of agony
I’ll spit it out in envy…in displeasure…
Let me see what’s in store in the future, promising amity
My sentiments will be as unpredictable as weather
Resurrect the delight, crawling in my veins and make me someone better
Someone who deserves praise and someone who is mature
If I can have three wishes, they would sure be:
To release me from his ribcage,
To help me be more emotionally stable,
And to boost my self-esteem?
What would your three wishes be?
Follow your dreams and be free!
Entwine with the emotions of the ocean
Don’t wear that ugly frown
You’re striking me down with bittersweet emotion
(Bittersweet emotion…)
Endurance and courage is the key to mere success
Look at your life right now – you’re making so much progress
So much more progress than what I’d do in a year
Because you are special to me and you’ll always remain here
You’ll always have a place in my heart
Be no longer anxious, for we have the ability to tear apart
Tragedy that has scarred us from the start
When we first met, I knew you would be so dear to me
You are a suave, tenderhearted angel that grants me pure happiness
When you were weary, you rested on my shoulder, which made me smile with glee
You are a tiger, so treasurable, but so full of rage and ambition,
But I am attracted to a gal like you – you’re such a stunning genius
I am sick of hearing those ruthless lies
I would rather accept the truth, not discard it with resent
Those tear-jerking goodbyes bug us like flies
I try to shoo them away or swap them, but they’re persistent
Don’t utter those tear-jerking goodbyes
Don’t utter those cruel, tear-jerking goodbyes
(Tear-jerking goodbyes)
