John Mark McMillan - Carbon Ribs lyrics
[John Mark McMillan - Carbon Ribs lyrics]
A thousand pairs of firey eyes
Burn like a serpent down the highway 5
As the long amber tail to Los Angeles unwinds
I've got His resurrection down inside my skin
But for all my revelating I
Just can't make sense of
This gravity we're in
'Cause, I'm a dead man now
With a ghost who lives
Within the confines of these carbon ribs
And one day when I'm free, I will sit
A cripple at Your table
A cripple by Your side
A thousand miles of pain I'm sure
Led You to the threshold of
My heart's screen door
To tell me what it is I'm dying for
Gravity comes like a cold, cold rain
To lead me to the rope again
But Someone is standing in my place
'Cause, I'm a dead man now
With a ghost who lives
Within the confines of these carbon ribs
And one day when I'm free, I will sit
A cripple at Your table
A cripple by Your side
A cripple at Your table
A cripple by Your side
And I sit beside You and I sit beside You
And I sit beside You and I sit beside You
Burn like a serpent down the highway 5
As the long amber tail to Los Angeles unwinds
I've got His resurrection down inside my skin
But for all my revelating I
Just can't make sense of
This gravity we're in
'Cause, I'm a dead man now
With a ghost who lives
Within the confines of these carbon ribs
And one day when I'm free, I will sit
A cripple at Your table
A cripple by Your side
A thousand miles of pain I'm sure
Led You to the threshold of
My heart's screen door
To tell me what it is I'm dying for
Gravity comes like a cold, cold rain
To lead me to the rope again
But Someone is standing in my place
'Cause, I'm a dead man now
With a ghost who lives
Within the confines of these carbon ribs
And one day when I'm free, I will sit
A cripple at Your table
A cripple by Your side
A cripple at Your table
A cripple by Your side
And I sit beside You and I sit beside You
And I sit beside You and I sit beside You
