Dan Smith - Snakes lyrics

[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: Kyle Simmons] 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
