Ooh, I'm not readyOoh, I'm not readyOoh, I'm not readyOoh, I'm not readySnakes are biting in my heelsThe worries that refuse to let us goI've been kicking them awayAnd hoping not to let them take controlOoh, I'm not readyDrink to escape their bitesShow me distractionEven for just one nightCause it's easier to buryMy head in the sand sometimesYes, it's easier to buryMy head in the sand sometimesAnd I know, I know, I knowIt's not the right way to goBut I pray for the ground to swallow me wholeOoh, I'm not readyOoh, I'm not readyNow these days are feeling darkWe're struggling to figure out last yearWhen the woman on the news keeps saying thingsthat no one wants to hearOoh, I'm not readyDrink to escape our mindsShow me distractionEven for just one nightCause it's easier to buryMy head in the sand sometimesYes, it's easier to buryMy head in the sand sometimesAnd I know, I know, I knowIt's not the right way to goBut I pray for the ground to swallow me wholeYes, I pray for the ground to swallow me wholeOoh, I'm not readyOoh, I'm not ready"Come on, boys. Let's go tear this place apart!"[Cause I know life is simple whenI can just ignore it allCause I know, cause I know, cause I knowLife is simple whenI can just ignore it all...]If I'm not readySnakes will consume me wholeIf I'm not steadyBaby, they'll take controlBut it's easier to buryMy head in the sand sometimesYes, it's easier to buryMy head in the sand sometimesI know, I know, I knowIt's not the right way to goBut I pray for the ground to swallow me wholeYes, I know, I know, I knowIt's not the right way to goBut I pray for the ground to swallow me whole
