Letra de Poised and Ready
You're poised and ready, unable to make a sound Your hands are sweaty as you look down You're running already when you've hit the groundYou're willing and able, so nice to have around The head of the table is tightly wound The noise is loud, so turn it downWhen you think about it, try to wrap your head around it You find none of it makes any sense at all And people you once trusted are now looking so disgusted And they're waiting anxiously for you to fallYou take for granted and take what you can grab Forsake what's landing into your lap You shake the hand and take a stabThere's no need to doubt it There's never been two ways about it It takes a thick skin There's ways around it but no way inAnd when you think about it, try to wrap your head around it You find none of it makes any sense at all And people you once trusted are now looking so disgusted And they're waiting anxiously for you to fallAnd there you go, turning everybody you know Turning a one man show, so take a look around you now And suck it up and take a bowYou're living and crawling and trying to catch a breath You're stalling and dying a sudden death And all the while you second guessAnd now the time has come to for it to stop The crowd was done, so call the cops You're like a boy who turned and shotYou're poised and ready, unable to make a sound Your hands are sweaty if you look down You're running already when you hit the ground
