Scary Movies

(album: Slow Bloom - 2021)

Keep biting your fingernails
You've come this far; it's only fair that you would be the one to fail
(One to fail, one to...)
Keep sending that snail mail
You've come this far it's only fair that you would see the end
And still decide to bail

The truth is behind that look
Is the fact that you've had your nose deep
Buried in a book so long (so unfair)
What you carry you believe is truth enough to bear that
You're ready but you're not, you're ready but you're not prepared

You think you're ready, think you're ready?
You're already giving up
(Woah, who? Oh, woah)
You show me what you've got but you know it's not enough
And you think this isn't fair
'Cause you're ready but you're not prepared

Sweet sweet girl against the whole wide world on her own
So is it better that you'd left well enough alone?
But you never cared for feeling like you were scared more on your own
In your bedroom, scary movies, in your picture perfect home

(In your picture perfect, picture perfect, ah)

You think you're ready, think you're ready?
You're already giving up
(Woah, who? Oh, woah)
You show me what you've got but you know it's not enough
And you think this isn't fair
'Cause you're ready but you're not prepared

You think you're ready, think you're ready now?
You think you're ready now?
So show me what you've got, oh you know it's not enough
Oh do you think this isn't fair?
'Cause you're ready but you're not
You're ready but you're not prepared
