Ready To Die

Asleep in the half light

Breathing too deep to hear the swell

Penetrating the quicksand

You've come to break my quarantine

I guess I'm awake now

A second to process the sounds of your screams

Let me just put some clothes on

I need all I can get when I'm stripped bare

Because I am not to blame

You can't get enough of my shame

You're always ready to fight

It's like you're ready to die

For all the reasons wrong enough for two

It's always search and destroy

With all your weapons deployed

But with only baggage in the clip

And oh my god what an endless supply

Of am-mu-ni-tion

Please cooperate

A stuttering eye and I'm under siege

Graduation is fleeting

The cloud overhead has a shape that I can match

Good morning opposition

Round 2 begins when you're back from the brink

Because when seething from within like you are

I can imagine the hours you spend getting sick

You're always ready to fight

It's like you're ready to die

For all the reasons wrong enough for two

It's always search and destroy

With all your weapons deployed

But with only baggage in the clip

And oh my god what an endless supply

Of am-mu-ni-tion

Count to ten

On 50 fingers

Penalty fists

Engage my retreat
