I'm Ready, I Am Lyrics

I'm nicotine

I'm coming clean

I fooled the crowd

when i made it sound

like i was more than ready



strike up the band,

deprive my sleep,

cause theres no love

like appathy.

the bell that tolls

rings loud enough

that it should have

woke us up.



chorus-

im trying to find truth in words,

in rhymes and notes

in all the things i wish i wrote

cause i feel like ive been losing you.



i read your last entry,

overprivelidged kids keep crying.

they need to fit in,

its harder when living life from a screen.

old classmates please drop all your pens,

dont write a word cause i wont reply

and im not bitter, no

its just ive past that point in my life.



chorus-

im trying to find truth in words,

in rhymes and notes

in all the things i wish i wrote

cause i feel like ive been losing you.



each night it ends too soon.

you dont hold me like you used to

and your eyes look like theyve seen too much cause

its always some excuse--

too tired, too obtuse.

you look so far removed.

this time i fear im losing losing you.



m nicotine.

im a cash machine.

im the color green

and you should have seen

the looks i just received.



i need a reason to let go.

an intervention, a lullaby.

something to cure me,

please believe me.
