I Split My Ribs Open (feat. Open Mike Eagle)

from Transgender Street Legend Vol. 1 by Left At London

lyrics

You go on & on & on & on & on
about your plight
Tell me will you be alright?
Tell me if you’ll be alright
You go on & on & on & on & on As if
I didn’t care
& I wish I could be there
God, I wish I could be there
For you

“Stay back
Come back”
Make up your mind
Cuz I can feel it getting imminent
I know
You feel
A bit resigned
& I have never been articulate

So say

Are you safe?
Are you safe?
Are you safe?
Are you safe?
Are you safe?

trying on my slip on disguise
I'm wondering which wire I done tripped on this time
Stuttering in every language I have ever learned
And I'm usually hella good at feeling very unconcerned
But there's something in my eye
or its something from the sky
oh fuck it im crying, now here's a bunch of reasons why
And maybe I should focus on the one that's most ferocious
I split my ribs open ain't nobody even notice
look at all this blood
This whole damn kitchens about to flood
Afraid to dirty up your hospital scrubs or fuck up your buzz
When I'm gone don't pretend like you didn't know what it was
And nah, I don't mean when I die
I mean when I leave without saying goodbye
cuz I'm offended that I'm hurting and your care is denied
You just gon stare at the sky?
Alright, bet, I'ma bear it in mind
But when it hurts, don't compare it to mine

“Stay back
Come back”
Make up your mind
Cuz I can feel it getting imminent
I know
You feel
A bit resigned
& I have never been articulate

So say

Are you safe?
Are you safe?
Are you safe?
Are you safe?
Are you safe?

Are you safe?

“I hope you are doing better now. Okay, bye”
