Snakes

(álbum: Wild World - 2016)

Ooh, I'm not ready [4x]

Snakes are biting in my heels
The worries that refuse to let us go
I've been kicking them away
When hoping not to let them take control

Ooh, I'm not ready
Drink to escape our minds
[Another version:] Drink to escape their bites
Show me distraction
Even for just one night

But it's easier to bury
[Another version:] 'Cause it's easier to bury
My head in the sand sometimes
Yes, it's easier to bury
My head in the sand sometimes

And I know, I know, I know
It's not the right way to go
But I pray for the ground to swallow me whole

Ooh, I'm not ready [2x]

Now these days are feeling dark
We're struggling to figure out last year
When the woman on the news
Keeps saying things that no one wants to hear

Ooh, I'm not ready
Drink to escape our minds
Show me distraction
Even for just one night

'Cause it's easier to bury
My head in the sand sometimes
Yes, it's easier to bury
My head in the sand sometimes

And I know, I know, I know
It's not the right way to go
But I pray for the ground to swallow me whole
Yes, I pray for the ground to swallow me whole

Ooh, I'm not ready [2x]

"Come on, boys. Let's go tear this mother down!"
[Another version:] "Come on, boys. Let's go tear this place apart!"

'Cause I know, 'cause I know, 'cause I know
Life is simple when I can just ignore it all
'Cause I know, 'cause I know, 'cause I know
Life is simple when I can just ignore it all
'Cause I know, 'cause I know, 'cause I know...

If I'm not ready
Snakes will consume me whole
If I'm not steady
Baby, they'll take control

But it's easier to bury
My head in the sand sometimes
Yes, it's easier to bury
My head in the sand sometimes

I know, I know, I know
It's not the right way to go
But I pray for the ground to swallow me whole

Yes, I know, I know, I know
It's not the right way to go
But I pray for the ground to swallow me whole
