Ready For You
[Verse 1]
I'm standing on these stones
I plant these aching bones down, king without a throne now
Waves are crashing out
I'm scrolling through my phone
There's no one I can call now
I guess I'm all alone, how did that end up being
Now, pull yourself together boy
Re-construct like Lego toys
These thoughts you have could soon destroy the progress you have made
It's pulling down like gravity, emotional brutality
Just know the clock is ticking and that nothing stays the same
[Chorus]
I'm back up off the floor
'Cause I know that I got more in myself for round two (Round two, round two)
In my boat without an oar
I still find my way to shore, in this ocean blue (Ah-e-blee-blu-blee-blu-blu)
I know you feel it, I know you feel it, know you feel it
'Cause I can see it na-uh-ah-ah-ow
And now I'm back up off the floor
'Cause I know that I got more and I'm ready for you (ah-uh-ah)
[Verse 2]
You've unleashed a sleepin' beast (Beast)
A mythical, biblical creature, a demon that's breathin', you best call a priest (Priest)
Or exorcist, wretched this, boy who is flexing his dark side
I can't find no peace (Peace)
Belongs in asylums, no man is an island, so I'm a whole planet that speaks (Speaks)
The speaks of the pain that is drumming like rain on my brain and it's flooding the streets
So nail me to this cross now, crucify me
God how am I meant to pray if my hands are nailed down
I'll build my very own effigy, that represents the pain in me
And burn it 'til it's ash, I'm seeking freedom from my se-eh-uh-eh-uh-eh-uh-eh-uh-elf
Vibrations move the speaker
Music - my Mona Lisa
I seek my refuge in a melody, fix me up my dealer
I'll breathe it like it's ether
I'll drink it by the litre
When half your life is spent with death, you do not fear the Reaper
[Bridge]
For the plight of humankind remains the same
The biggest war we ever wage is the war we wage upon our own brains
It's a story as old as time
Duality dwells inside our thoughts
While we Yin-Yang, we will hang
On a noose with no support
[Chorus]
I'm back up off the floor
'Cause I know that I got more in myself for round two
In my boat without an oar
I still find my way to shore, in this ocean blue (Ah-e-blee-blu-blee-blu-blu)
I know you feel it, I know you feel it, know you feel it
'Cause I can see it na-uh-ah-ah-ow
And now I'm back up off the floor
'Cause I know that I got more and I'm ready for you
