In my mind, in my marrow,
I’ve been shooting neon arrows,
I’ve been shaking my shadows,
My bones are buzzed, my heart is ripe,
I’m alive.
I am ready now, I am ready now, I am ready now
To pull it apart
I am ready now, I am ready now, I am ready now
Ready to start.
I’m tired of shrinking, I’m tired of thinking
that I don’t deserve what’s mine.
Nothing can stop me if I got a heartbeat,
Yeah I’m ready to be alive.
I’ve been scared, I’ve been silent.
I’ve shut myself from love’s violence.
But this is just a different dying.
I cannot hide, if I am alive,
I’m divine.
I am ready now, I am ready now, I am ready now
To pull it apart.
I am ready now, I am ready now, I am ready now
Ready to start.
I’m tired of shrinking, I’m tired of thinking
that I don’t deserve what’s mine.
Nothing can stop me if I got a heartbeat,
Yeah I’m ready to be alive.
I won’t be afraid of all the mistakes that I have yet to make.
I won’t be ashamed of just how brave I’ll have to be
To love myself.
I am ready now, I am ready now, I am ready now
To pull it apart
I am ready now, I am ready now, I am ready now
Ready to start.
I’m tired of shrinking, I’m tired of thinking
That I don’t deserve what’s mine.
Nothing can stop me if I got a heartbeat,
Yeah I’m ready to be alive.
