What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
You're poised and ready, unable to make a sound
2
Your hands are sweaty as you look down
3
You're running already when you've hit the ground
4
You're willing and able, so nice to have around
5
The head of the table is tightly wound
6
The noise is loud, so turn it down
7
When you think about it, try to wrap your head around it
8
You find none of it makes any sense at all
9
And people you once trusted are now looking so disgusted
10
And they're waiting anxiously for you to fall
11
You take for granted and take what you can grab
12
Forsake what's landing into your lap
13
You shake the hand and take a stab
14
There's no need to doubt it
15
There's never been two ways about it
16
It takes a thick skin
17
There's ways around it but no way in
18
And when you think about it, try to wrap your head around it
19
You find none of it makes any sense at all
20
And people you once trusted are now looking so disgusted
21
And they're waiting anxiously for you to fall
22
And there you go, turning everybody you know
23
Turning a one man show, so take a look around you now
24
And suck it up and take a bow
25
You're living and crawling and trying to catch a breath
26
You're stalling and dying a sudden death
27
And all the while you second guess
28
And now the time has come to for it to stop
29
The crowd was done, so call the cops
30
You're like a boy who turned and shot
31
You're poised and ready, unable to make a sound
32
Your hands are sweaty if you look down
33
You're running already when you hit the ground
