The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Save your breath, my brother
It's not going in
I'm not your disciple
I choose how I sin
I've got a distant memory of previous lives
So don't say I'm not ready
Back off with those knives
You don't know me like you used to
You can leave, but I refuse to
You can tell me that I'm crazy
But I won't stop and this won't make me
Don't tell me I'm not ready
Don't tell me I'm not ready for love
For love
I don't feel connected to all of your lies
But you can do a kindness
And look me in the eyes
My soul's resurrected, yeah
It's been there before
So, don't say I'm not
Ready to level on my soul
You don't know me like you used to
You can leave, but I refuse to
You can tell me that I'm crazy
But I won't stop and this won't make me
Don't tell me I'm not ready
Don't tell me I'm not ready for love
The course that you have set for me
The shadows you crossed over me
The road is getting hard to see
But I'm gonna make it through
Horizons that are out of sight
Lost behind the fading light
Ready for what's coming
And they best be ready too
Don't tell me I'm not ready for love
Don't tell me I'm not ready
Don't tell me I'm not ready for love
