[Intro]

Wait...wait...wait...I'm not ready yet...


[Verse One]

Then I lay me down on this cold floor

Oh Lord I hope for the cloaked, no intervention saw

That's where I paused, Jeanie, many more fleeting moments

Heck, you just cheating yourself from meeting

I can breathe a ton of these demons into my lungs

And I beat 'em no matter what self defeating attack comes

I put the past in the closet, leave it behind

Locked under key I would cast aside until I needed it padlocked

Put in a stash box, move it along

I learned how to learn patience and when acting is wrong

Turn 360 leisurely, pessimism know her and he grieve with me

Bleed with me, then I got sober, it agrees with me

I moderated shots slower

Finding the piece of me, thank God it was over

I'm here

[Hook] {x2}

I couldn't imagine why I was granted a second chance at life

But I'm so glad that I saw the light

And I see now my purpose right

My purpose right


[Verse Two]

Just think, what have I accomplished?

End of my life bonkers

What other pill to conquer

It would've just been awkward

Roommates explaining and didn't know why I changed

Since little before I named some pitiful reason lame or

Breaking down doors had even burst in tears

Grieving nurses to fear

Even land lady just standing and looking all fucked up

Like look what the fuck kids

Then cuff someone's arrested for punching a chest in

Wait

Just glad it never had to happen that way

I never would have had an album

Never had met Collin

Never had been travelling

Never had new problems

Never learned how to solve 'em

Never knew I'd evolve then


[Hook]

[Bridge] {x2}

And now I lay me down to sleep

I pray the Lord my soul to keep

If I should die before I wake

Wait
