Rib Cage

Rib Cage

I don't know how I'll get through this
what's even happening? 
what did they find? 
my mother's scared to say a word 
my son screams silently 
we're out of time 
and I cannot accept this now 
they say there's nothing I can do 
to be the one to lead you through 
and I fall, shattering my knees 
you're the only one I see
you're the only one who knows me 

I pull you gently close to me 
lay your head down slow
"I am here." I say 
your body is growing tired 
the wind blows quietly 
for you I pray 
and I stare straight into your eyes 
tell you there's nothing you should fear
promise your path will be clear 
and I sing you lullabies 
perhaps there's another time 
together you and I will fight 

I'll keep you safe 
safe inside my Rib Cage 
and I'll keep you safe 
safe inside my, safe inside my 
safe inside of my Rib Cage 

I'll keep you safe, safe inside my Rib Cage 
I'll keep you safe, safe inside my Rib Cage
(Rib Cage) 
I'll keep you safe, safe inside my
safe inside my, safe inside my...
Rib Cage...
