Ribcage

[Verse 1: Mary Lambert]

Living in the darkness

I wear it like a crown

Oh I've got tough skin

Ready for for my bow

All I've got is two hands

I tied them in the middle

Ready for the red tape

To open up my ribcage

[Pre-Chorus: Mary Lambert]

I offer souvenirs

A deaf tongue and blinded ears

Can you fill the shelves in here?

Come in come in

[Chorus: Mary Lambert]

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

[Verse 2: K Flay]

Want you to want me like I'm all you got

Know that you 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 in season like that smoke in my lungs

What they project on me what I've become

Down on my knees unsure what to say

No I never learned how to prey

Don't know know who I 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

[Chorus]

[Verse 3: Mary Lambert]

Tie off all my tendons

Watch how they stretch

Oh I've got the muscle

But lord, I'm spent

Knocking down my sternum

Began at a young age

Too much space between

Open up my ribcage

[Pre-Chorus + Chorus]

[Verse 4: Angel Haze]

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 have 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 organs softly played through my violin mouth

I got lifetimes worth of love hidden beneath my tongue

Written on my skin, tells me your the one

[Chorus]
