when i’m ready

and an end to the midnight executions of the innocents
and all the prisoners shall be released
and their time given back
and all the ghosts return

everyone we ever loved comes back
and we’re at the beach
in gorgeous swimsuits

and the sun is magnificent
and we can all finally see
we look up from our screens

from the endless sucking cl!ckbait lobotomy
we wake up and look into each others eyes

into the stars and black holes
into the quarks and secret souls
we break the speed of light

and we finally know
we know what’s gonna happen

and we know
and we know that everything’ll be ok
and that every moment counts

every day
every hour
every minute
every second

we know that every second counts
if this is the world you’re giving me
if this is the best you could do
i accept your gift graciously

as long the skies are still blue
and i will begin the rites
of absolution and purification
in the morning
when i’m ready

if this is the world you’re giving me
if this is the best you could do
i accept your gift graciously

as long the skies are still blue
and i will begin the rites
of absolution and purification
in the morning
when i’m ready

in the morning
when i’m ready

in the morning
when i’m ready
