Ribcage (Awakening)

Two in blue
Officers at my door
Eyes tell all
Feet are glued to the floor
Name on card
Detective, tell me more
Open case
Prepare for what's in store
Mom, I didn't ask for this
You're the only one that knew half of it
Now I'm the only half in this sack of shit
Our pain entwined, no comparison
My heart to break
Your soul at stake
My life as prey
Your will at play

Before I crack under stories untold
Before my wounds cauterize, forever fold
Before the ink dries, demons take hold
I crave refuge in the only truth I've ever known
Under the eyes of the many
I finally am what they can't see

Awakening
Keeps me from breaking
Offer my heart to be born anew
Throwing my ribcage into full view
Awakening
Keeps me from breaking
Offer my heart to be born anew
Throwing my ribcage into full view

Thought I was dreamin'
But you gave my nightmares meanin'
Feel the spill, the quill is bleedin'
Contract held, is that you schemin'?
Demon eyes, I'm screaming
Someone help, I'm pleading
Ghosts inside not leaving
Tell me why, give me a reason

Awakening
Keeps me from breaking
Offer my heart to be born anew
Throwing my ribcage into full view
Awakening (Before I crack under memories untold)
Keeps me from breaking (Before my wounds cauterize, forever fold)
Awakening (Before the ink dries, demons take hold)
Keeps me from breaking
(I crave refuge in the only truth I've ever known)

I just want somewhere to breathe, yeah
Anything to relieve me
Somewhere to put my mind at ease
Somewhere to put my mind at ease
I just want somewhere to breathe, yeah
Anything to relieve me
Can I put my mind at ease?
Anyone see me?

Awakening
Keeps me from breaking
Offer my heart to be born anew
Throwing my ribcage into full view
Awakening (Before I crack under memories untold)
Keeps me from breaking (Before my wounds cauterize, forever fold)
Save me (Before the ink dries, demons take hold)
Please don't break me
(I crave refuge in the only truth I've ever known)
