Snakes Letra - Bastille

Ooh, I'm not ready

Ooh, I'm not ready

Ooh, I'm not ready

Ooh, I'm not ready

Snakes are biting at 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 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 who-ole

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

'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 who-ole

Yes, I pray for the ground to swallow me who-o-ole

Ooh, I'm not ready

Ooh, I'm not ready

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

(Woo, Oh!)"

'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 ('Cause I know, 'cause I know, 'cause I know)

Snakes will consume me whole ('Cause I know, 'cause I know, 'cause I know)

If I'm not steady ('Cause I know, 'cause I know, 'cause I know)

Maybe they'll take control ('Cause I know, 'cause I know, 'cause I know)

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 who-ole

Yes, I know, I know, I know

It's not the right way to go

But I pray for the ground to swallow me who-o-ole
