Snakes - Bastille

Written by：Dan Smith/Mark Crew

Ooh I'm not ready

Ooh I'm not ready

Ooh I'm not ready

Ooh I'm not ready

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 their bites

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

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

Cus 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

Cus I know cus I know cus I know

Cus I know life is simple when

I can just ignore it all

Cus I know cus I know cus I know

Life is simple when

I can just ignore it all

Cus I know cus I know cus 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
