Broken Ribs

My ribs are hurting
They ache with every breath
With every cough
With every wheeze
My ribs are hurting

My lungs are failing
Brittle like glass
Burst like balloons
They feel bruised
My lungs are failing

It feels suffocating
The way it creaks
The way it strains
I'm too young to hurt
It feels suffocating

Tell me the solution
Something easy to find
Something painless and quick
Build up the fallen fortress
Tell me the solution

Fix it for me
Because I'm too tired
Because I'm too busy
I want it to be over with
Fix it for me

My ribs are hurting
Brittle like glass
The way it strains
Build up the fallen fortess
Fix it for me
