Empty Ribs
I watched it dance through the dust
In cathedrals they thought
Would stand the test of time
But there's no time here
(Anymore)
In a fevered mind
I've been counting these days
Hate the past too much to miss it
Hated growing up ashamed of all I was
That I'd never become
And I hope someday I can say that I'm done
That I'm giving up
On everything that I'm supposed to be
I'm scared that I've forgotten me
I don't
Wanna die before I see the things
I'd swear that I was born to see
God damn it got the best of me
I know
I'd let it burn in the light
Of the ruins I might
Try to build into my home
But there's no home here
In these empty ribs
Where I'd make my cage
I hate the world too much to save it
Hated everything I've ever come to touch
That I loved too much
And hope someday I can say that I'm done
That I'm giving up
On everything that I'm supposed to be
I'm scared that I've forgotten me
I don't
Wanna die before I see the things
I'd swear that I was born to see
God damn it got the best of me
I know
I know
I know
I know
I know
When the rusted bell rings
When the sirens sing
I don't wanna be anything
I don't wanna be anything
I don't wanna be anything
I don't wanna be anything like you
In cathedrals they thought
Would stand the test of time
But there's no time here
(Anymore)
In a fevered mind
I've been counting these days
Hate the past too much to miss it
Hated growing up ashamed of all I was
That I'd never become
And I hope someday I can say that I'm done
That I'm giving up
On everything that I'm supposed to be
I'm scared that I've forgotten me
I don't
Wanna die before I see the things
I'd swear that I was born to see
God damn it got the best of me
I know
I'd let it burn in the light
Of the ruins I might
Try to build into my home
But there's no home here
In these empty ribs
Where I'd make my cage
I hate the world too much to save it
Hated everything I've ever come to touch
That I loved too much
And hope someday I can say that I'm done
That I'm giving up
On everything that I'm supposed to be
I'm scared that I've forgotten me
I don't
Wanna die before I see the things
I'd swear that I was born to see
God damn it got the best of me
I know
I know
I know
I know
I know
When the rusted bell rings
When the sirens sing
I don't wanna be anything
I don't wanna be anything
I don't wanna be anything
I don't wanna be anything like you
