Ribs

Lyrics for Ribs

Can I hold your love between my ribs While you weigh me down to something thin? When I get back up, feeble and frail Then I won't see you as the same again You were oh, so quiet when I needed you Was clamoring for something true Now, I, if I close my eyes, I can feel you Vanish into blinding light to what I can't recognize Now I splinter and divide, but go on breathing Leave me to my own device, time was all I'd need to see it Before I quit, I go to vent, but sorrow draws lines across my chest Oh, pale in my lips, my chin's so high it broke my neck And I can nevеr see you as the same again I ignore thе shadow of my mind, I sink into the scene to hide All the color is a mess, is there a means, is there an end to this? Oh, I, if I close my eyes, I can feel you Vanish into blinding light, to what I can't recognize Now I splinter and divide, but go on breathing Leave me to my own device, time was all I'd need to see it You drift further by the day You took a twist of a memory that we made Ribbed with loneliness and shame All to my own dismay If I close my eyes, I can feel you Vanish into blinding light, to what I can't recognize Now I splinter and divide, but go on breathing Leave me to my own device, time was all I'd need to see it ♪ Hey
