beneath these ribs

beneath these ribs

Broken and batteredĀ 
Mirrors all shattered

keepsakes of heavens pride

Ā 

Bones that break

Her voice does shake

For tears she never cried

Ā 

Walls that talk

Shadows that walk

Tongues that always lied

Ā 

Flowers of black

Bags to pack

For one hell of a lonely ride
