Crawl Lyrics

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
