Take my heart
It's yours to keep
Pull my chest apart
It's an infinite sleep

Take my smile
It's yours to carry
I never found it worthwhile
Tuck it away to bury

Take my collarbone
It's yours to hold
You've kissed it to stone
Or so I've been told

Take my rib
It's yours to own
Peel my protective bib
Break me so I can go home

Take my love
It's been yours for years
I would return yours
But you never gave me any

i didn't cry today
my mother did though
she says i've changed
it happened a long time ago

my thoughts are sad
they burn like coal
my words have changed
i am not whole

my wrists are sore
decorated red with fear
or is it blood
i won't last a year

i haven't eaten today
my ribs are showing
i smile at my reflection
my future is closing

The day has come
i have gone to sleep
my mother cried
i'm just another soul to reap
