[Verse 1]
To escape from my own mind
I have fallen off the rails
Given into subtle tendencies
And again it's a matter of time
Until I sink into denial
And build a barricade defending me

[Pre-Chorus]
We'll put it off now
We'll put it off now

[Chorus]
I am ready to stand for the things that I have done
(It seems so clear)
For all the things that I have thrown away
I am standing right here

[Verse 2]
I know I'll suffer
Exposed and alone
And it's true that the way back up
Hurts so much more than sitting on a crippled wicker throne (throne)

[Alternate Pre-Chorus]
Don't put it off now
I won't put it off now
[Pre-Chorus]
I am ready to stand for the things that I have done
(It seems so clear)
For all the things that I have thrown away
I'm standing right here

[Post-Chorus]
Don't put it off now
I won't put it off now

[Bridge]
You cling to promises
You say it's temporary
You cling to promises but we both know
You claim you're ordinary
You cling to promises but we both know the truth

[Chorus]
I am ready to stand for the things that I have done
(It seems so clear)
For all the things that I have thrown away
I am standing right here
