nyo2 - ready to go? lyrics

[verse 1: new mayhem]
standing at the downed fence
four of us, out for a jog, and sweating some decisions
if to cross the four train tracks between us and the other side
or else to go on down a mile to a tunnel not too wide
“this will save us some time, i promise,” i hear myself verbalize
they nod in affirmation, but it’s not shared in the stares they cast out on the tracks with pairs of haunted, nervous eyes
i know i’ll have to take the lead
i shuffle either of my feet
then swallow thoughts of fail
and place a foot atop the rail

[chorus: new mayhem]
the honda flips
the ladder tips
lightning strikes
the gas ignites
the final fight
takes place one night
without consent
it barges in
and knocks the living
daylights out
your chest
at your behest
and off your guard
so that you’re promised
double yards
right then, when life
is flashing past
will you, at last
for sure know you’re
ready to go?
ready to go?
ready to go?
ready to go?

[verse 2: new mayhem]
ease myself uneasily to tread ahead and move
creep onto the sleeper, b-lls of feet fall on the granite smooth
hear friends follow suit, heart beat hard, diamond studded dread
filling my head, willing my spades of life be fed
with four leaf clovers, poor die throwers what we are though
for as i step onto rail two, my ears are met with deathly blow
the sound of fear, wail cast of fast approaching train
the bane of my good judgment
on the last track
fight or flight says “don’t backtrack”
we toss our sane and race to beat the train

[verse 3: new mayhem]
run
can you make it?
friends behind you
shake it, that’s too bad
keep facing forward
and just don’t look back
the tracks, they shake
both hands, they quake
what will heaven look like
six seconds after you’re splattered
from existence, cross dimensions
hope the reverend keeps it short
or maybe (please!) pick up the pace and chase after that tiny glimpse of hope
(oh no, oh no)
you gotta scurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry!!!

[verse 4: new mayhem]
standing on the other side
the three others, they survived
the train rides by, and so does death
for the first time
in my life
the coldest steel, abyss’s knife
brushed by my throat, and nearly sliced
eclipse of light forever night
doesn’t cl!ck in
right at first
then all at once
it tightens, hurts
and causes me to laugh
(heh heh, oh)
i would have died for nothing
i risked it all for what? for what?
my life, almost wasted
thrown away like trash
my thoughts have often clashed
when i’ve laid in bed, remembering
and what truly scares me most
is that, in that moment
i knew that
i wasn’t
ready to go
