Jack's Mannequin - "I'm Ready"

And today was a day just like any other...

I'm on the verge, I'm on the verge,
Unraveling with every word,
With every word you say, make me believe,
That I won't feel your tires on the street,
As I'm finding the words... you're getting away.

I come undone, oh yes, I do!
Just think of all the thoughts wasted on you,
And every word you say, say something sweet,
'Cause all I taste is blood between my teeth,
As I'm finding the words... you're getting away.

Well, I'm ready! I'm ready to drop!
Oh, I'm ready, I'm ready so don't stop!
I'm ready so don't stop! Keep pushing!
I'm ready to fall, oh, I'm ready!
I'm ready so don't call, I'm ready so don't call!

I am aware, I've been misled,
I disconnect my heart, my head,
Don't wanna recognize when things go bad,
The things that you'll accept,
Except that I am finding the words... to say...

I'm ready! I'm ready to drop!
Oh, I'm ready!
I'm ready so don't stop!

I wake up to find it's another
Four aspirin morning and I dive in.
I put on the same clothes I wore yesterday.
When did society decide that we had to change
And wash a t-shirt after every individual use?
If it's not dirty, I'm gonna wear it.
I take the stairs to the car,
And there's fog on the windows.
I need caffeine in my blood stream,
I take caffeine in the blood stream.
I grip the wheel and all at once I realize:
My life has become a boring pop song
And everyone's singing along.


Well, I'm ready! I'm ready to drop!
Oh, I'm ready, I'm ready so don't stop!
I'm ready so don't stop! Keep pushing!
I'm ready to fall, oh, I'm ready!
I'm ready so don't call, I'm ready so don't call!

P.S. This is off JM's album Everything In Transit... an absolutely FLAWLESS piece of work.
