[Verse 1: Zach Quinn]

I've been deemed unworthy of ascension

The deities have rinsed me in reverse

Speculum obliviana

And like a bear trap

One single motion

[Chorus: Zach Quinn]

I'm pried wide open

Hinged by spine

From my mangled form my heavy heart begins to lift

Ribs are built for breaking by design

[Verse 2: Zach Quinn]

Can't descend upon the southeast spire

Reference maps preserved to lead us home

Cannot face the droves of thoughtless soldiers

I've got a futon

Promise of freedom

[Chorus: Zach Quinn]

I'm pried wide open

Hinged by spine

From my mangled form my heavy heart begins to lift

Ribs are built for breaking by design

[Bridge: Zach Quinn]

Light surrounds us

Ethereal and true

Thrice they circle

And countless times I've failed you

Unleash the romance on the anthill

A treaty of concord

Beg forgiveness from the sitting duck

Violent true believer

Demagnetize my moral compass

Secretly hostile

'Tis midnight in the heavenly construct

The moon a deceiver

A beacon, an omen, an angel of death

[Chorus: Zach Quinn]

I'm pried wide open

Hinged by spine

Whisked to my extinction

Leveled, murdered, and renamed

Ribs are built for breaking by design
