Ribcage EP

by Deprivation

/
1.
Blood in, blood out Monday mourning heartache Dead end. A no through road Modern slaves in early graves Work hard and then corrode Can’t afford to pay attention, you never had control Stripped you of your dignity, already dug your hole Nothing saved, nothing gained Soon enough you’ll realise that things will never change A reoccurring nightmare Sentence of broken dreams Promises that may not be the perfect life or so it seems Wolves rule not the sheep Let this be a reminder Take the heat or become meat And fed fresh to the grinder Day in, day out. What’s the payout? Blood in, blood out. Where’s the prize? Break in, break out. Where’s the way out? Blood in, bled out. 'til you die. Can’t afford to pay attention, you never had control Stripped you of your dignity, already dug your hole Nothing saved, nothing gained Soon enough you’ll realise some things will never change Some things will never change

Love is lost, love is forgotten Try to reach the top but it’s hard from the bottom Saying goodbye to the sky (set me free) Everything I thought I was wasn’t me I’d dwell in Hell so you could have Heaven All fresh out of fucks to give I’ve stained the page The only way to the heart Is through the ribcage Stuck in my ways and I'm damned afraid I will never change these ways of mine Cowardice coursing down my spine Waiting for the planets to re-align Separate the flesh and push through splintered bone Lies a void with an absence of movement alone Once an engine that wilfully fuelled this machine Now a vortex to suck you in and crush your fucking dreams And can you hear? No, the beating has ceased and the silence is deafening And if you cross me again let it be known my response is life threatening I’d dwell in hell so you could have heaven All fresh out of fucks to give I’ve stained the page The only way to the heart Is through the ribcage Stuck in my ways and I can't escape I will never change these ways of mine Cowardice coursing down my spine Waiting for the planets to re-align Breaking away from these chains I’ve awoken. Got plenty of problems but this isn’t one Hearts break but still beat
3.
Burn another day away Take another hit Can’t escape your fate today The flames already lit So break the glass you’re not yourself to me Dead inside but wide awake I see you There’s cracks in everything Creating what you crave Now that you’ve crowned yourself as King We aim to misbehave Believe me I know the score How long? So break the glass you’re not yourself to me Dead inside but wide awake I see you We’re flying way too high Clearly somethings got to give Every man must die Not every man will live Justify And I see you I’m here too I see you Self-acceptance is a radical act A show of defiance And justified
