[Intro:]
Ooh, I'm not ready
Ooh, I'm not ready
Ooh, I'm not ready
Ooh, I'm not ready.

[Verse 1:]
Snakes are biting in my heels
The worries that refuse to let us go
I've been kicking them away
And hoping not to let them take control.

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
Ooh, I'm not ready
Drink to escape their bites
Show me distraction
Even for just one night.

[Chorus:]
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.

[Verse 2:]
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.

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
Ooh, I'm not ready
Drink to escape our minds
Show me distraction
Even for just one night.

[Chorus:]
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.

[Intermezzo:]
"Come on, boys. Let's go tear this place apart!"

[Bridge:]
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...

[Pre-Chorus 3:]
If I'm not ready
Snakes will consume me whole
If I'm not steady
Maybe they'll take control.

[Chorus:]
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.
