[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
