I'm Ready

This island calls my name
and I'm broken in two
The gods find you when you're calm
and they rip down the sky
The path clears for long enough
to glimpse where you should be
Are you wolf or are you lamb?
Are you too scared to choose?

I'm ready for the answers, I'm ready for the drop
I'm ready to be shocking, I'm ready to be shocked

Your cold hands feel good on me
and my scorched heart cools fast
The stranger taught me all I know
of the world and other thirst
The alleyways and darkest lanes
of my tired mind form a star
Frightening stone of dark red heat
that burns through my whole body

I'm ready for the answers, I'm ready for the drop
I'm ready to be shocking, I'm ready to be shocked
