beneath these ribs

beneath these ribs

Broken and battered 
Mirrors all shattered

keepsakes of heavens pride

 

Bones that break

Her voice does shake

For tears she never cried

 

Walls that talk

Shadows that walk

Tongues that always lied

 

Flowers of black

Bags to pack

For one hell of a lonely ride
