Crawl Lyrics

are you ready to crawl
on bloody skinned knees
to the sound of bullets
and bombing in the seas
are you ready to fall
from your safe perch up high
to the trenches below
where you'll be asked to comply
are you ready to take it
face down like a pig
squealing in agony
while they ask you to sing
are you ready to hide
everything you know
every last emotion
without letting it show
can you wake up
just one more time

can you get up
pretend you feel fine
best wishes
and warmest regards
are you ready to color
all the pages with grey
let all the memories
every last word go away
are you ready to scratch
at the scars not yet healed
at the feet of your enemy
like grapes ripped from peels
are you ready to squander
the things you don't have
on things you don't need
without getting sad
are you ready to cut off
every semblance of being
all of your senses including
not knowing not seeing
can you wake up
just one more time
can you get up
pretend you feel fine
can you wake up
just one more time
can you get up
pretend you feel fine
best wishes
and warmest regards
are you ready to spread
all your dignity all your hope
open like legs and you're naked
on a strange unmade bed
are you prepared to surrender
the flag that is your own
and call whatever far away
your last home
are you ready to have nothing
ready to be nothing
ready not to feel
ready to be over
and it to not know
that the worst is real
can you wake up
just one more time
can you get up
pretend it's all fine
can you wake up
one more time
you'll have to pretend
that it's all fine
my best wishes
and warmest regards
