Living in the darkness,
I wear it like a crown
All I've got, tough skin,
ready for my bow
All I've got is two hands,
I tied them in
the middle Ready for the red tape,
open up my ribcage
I offer souvenirs,
a deaf tongue and blinded ears
Can you fill the shelves in here?
Come in, come in Everybody
look around
Everybody look around I don't know how to fill the space
The invitation's on the page, open up my ribcage
Want you to want me like I'm all you got Mama,
she see it but can't make me stop
Telling the truth,
it might mean you get broken But letting it hurt,
that's my method of coping
Doubt is easing like that smoke in my lungs What they project on me,
what I become
Down on my knees,
unsure what to say No,
I never learned how to pray
Don't no know who I've been fooling
But you got me running in circles,
I'm ruined Let you inside,
opened up all my wounds Taking my ribcage and ripped it in two
Everybody
look around Everybody
look around
I don't know how to fill the space The invitation's on the page,
open up my ribcage
I try for my tendons,
watch how they stretch Oh,
I've got the muscle,
Lord, I'm spent
Knocking down my sternum,
began at a young age
Too much space between,
open up my ribcage
I offer souvenirs,
a deaf tongue and blinded ears Can you fill the shelves in here?
Come in, come in Everybody look around
Everybody
look around I don't know how to fill the space
The invitation's on the page, open up my ribcage
There's impenetrable silence inside of my head
There's nothing I can vibe with,
I'm practically dead
I get so tired of writing everything I should've said
That maybe this time I'll put my pen down and just tell you instead
You see,
I opened up my ribcage and violence flew out
The organ softly played through my violent mouth
I got lights on,
work of love hidden beneath my tongue
It's written on my skin,
it tells me you're the one
Everybody look around Everybody
look around
I don't know how to fill the space
The invitation's on the page, open up my ribcage
Open up my ribcage
Open up my ribcage
