"Ready to Start"

Businessmen drink my blood

Like the kids in art school said they would

And I guess I'll just begin again

You say can we still be friends

If I was scared, I would

And if I was bored, you know I would

And if I was yours, but I'm not

All the kids have always known

That the emperor wears new clothes

But to bow to down to them anyway

Is better than to be alone

If I was scared, I would

And if I was bored, you know I would

And if I was yours, but I'm not

Now you're knocking at my door

Saying please come out against the night

But I would rather be alone

Than pretend I feel alright

If the businessmen drink my blood

Like the kids in art school said they would

Then I guess I'll just begin again

You say can we still be friends

If I was scared, I would

And if I was pure, you know I would

And if I was yours, but I'm not

Now I'm ready to start

If I was scared, I would

And if I was pure, you know I would

And if I was yours, but I'm not

Now I'm ready to start

Now I'm ready to start

I would rather be wrong

Than live in the shadows of your song

My mind is open wide

And now I'm ready to start

Now I'm ready to start

My mind is open wide

Now I'm ready to start

Not sure you'll open the door

To step out into the dark

Now I'm ready!
