Snakes Lyrics

Bastille

[Intro]
Ooh, I'm not ready
Ooh, I'm not ready
Ooh, I'm not ready
Ooh, I'm not ready

[Verse 1]
Snakes are biting at my heels
The worries that refuse to let us go
I've been kicking them away
And hoping not to let them take control

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Ooh, I'm not ready
Drink to escape their bites
Show me distraction
Even for just one night

[Chorus]
Cause it's easier to bury
My head in the sand sometimes
Yes, it's easier to bury
My head in the sand sometimes
And I know, I know, I know
It's not the right way to go
But I pray for the ground to swallow me whole

Ooh, I'm not ready
Ooh, I'm not ready

[Verse 2]
Now these days are feeling dark
We're struggling to figure out last year
When the woman on the news keeps saying things that no one wants to hear

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Ooh, I'm not ready
Drink to escape our minds
Show me distraction
Even for just one night

[Chorus]
Cause it's easier to bury
My head in the sand sometimes
Yes, it's easier to bury
My head in the sand sometimes
And I know, I know, I know
It's not the right way to go
But I pray for the ground to swallow me whole
Yes, I pray for the ground to swallow me whole

Ooh, I'm not ready
Ooh, I'm not ready

[Intermezzo]
"Come on, boys. Let's go tear this place apart!"

[Bridge: Kyle Simmons]
Cause I know life is simple when
I can just ignore it all
Cause I know, cause I know, cause I know
Life is simple when
I can just ignore it all
CauseI know, cause I know, cause I know...

[Pre-Chorus 3]
If I'm not ready
Snakes will consume me whole
If I'm not steady
Maybe they'll take control

[Chorus]
But it's easier to bury
My head in the sand sometimes
Yes, it's easier to bury
My head in the sand sometimes
I know, I know, I know
It's not the right way to go
But I pray for the ground to swallow me whole
Yes, I know, I know, I know
It's not the right way to go
But I pray for the ground to swallow me whole
