Snakes lyrics

Ooh, I'm not ready

Ooh, I'm not ready

Ooh, I'm not ready

Ooh, I'm not ready

Snakes are biting my heels

The worries that refuse to let us go

I’ve been kicking them away

And hoping not to let them take control

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

Ooh, I'm not ready

Ooh, I'm not ready

Now these days are feeling dark

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

Ooh, I'm not ready

"Come on, boys. Let's go tear this place apart!"

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

CauseI know, cause I know, cause I know...

If I’m not ready

Snakes will consume me whole

If I'm not steady

Maybe 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
