Frozen, forgetful again
The part where I lose my head
The scene where I'm supposed to speak but instead
I sit and listen again
I'm stuck with these cards, I guess
Leaping from this cliff in my thoughts
I fly like the stones in my heart
Drowning in doubt for what reason
I sit so patiently
Drenched in what you want me to be
I can't escape
I'm ready now, oh, I'm ready now
Oh, I'm ready now, come get me
Fearless with cape in hand
Conquer what I need to remain
Little girls get so broken
But I sit so patiently
Drenched in what you want me to be
I can't see no escape
I'm ready now, oh I'm ready now
Oh, I'm ready now, come get me
Through with golden roads and perfect love
Too much of your mouth is like too much sun
How I burn, how I burn?
I was so patient waiting for my turn
I fly like stone as I break every bone
Come get me
I'm ready now, oh I'm ready now
Oh, I'm ready now, come get me
I'm ready now, oh I'm ready now
Oh, I'm ready now, come get me
