Ready For You

(album: Demos (Do Not Share), Vol. II - 2020)

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 I end up here

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 now nothing stays the same

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 now...
And now I'm back up off the floor
'Cause I know that I got more
And I'm ready for you...

You've unleashed a sleeping beast (Beast)
A mythical, biblical creature, a demon that's breathing, you best call a priest (Priest)
Or exorcist, wretched this, boy who is flexing his dark side, I can't find no peace
Belongs in asylums, no man is an island, so I'm a whole planet that 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 my 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 'till it's ash
I'm seeking freedom from myse-e-e-e-e-e-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 you life is spent with death
You do not fear the reaper

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 Ying-Yang, we will hang
On a noose with no support

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 now...
And now I'm back up off the floor
'Cause I know that I got more
And I'm ready for you
