Ready is track 6 off my 2019 album, Plethora, and expresses the subject of "Pain" along with track 5. It is written about the hardships of being an artist and the sometimes crippling self-doubt many of us must overcome to pursue our craft. The lyrics are very real to me and I hope the song speaks to you too!

Lyrics:

Isn’t it strange 
How we all count the days?
And we leave all the odd numbers out
And ain’t it weird 
How we all close our ears?
While we widen that space called our mouths

I think it’s odd 
How we are told to try our best but
The praise is reserved for first place
Is it okay that 
Some days I am afraid to
Wear all my thoughts on my face

‘Cause I
I’m ready to try
I’m ready to feel what it’s like
To live life without dimming the lights
I’m ready to learn
What you’re willing to show me
But only if you
Are ready too

And ain’t it weird
How our lives are lead by fear
To our instincts we all pay no mind
If a person’s words
Are weighed for threats they serve
Should I try to be more unkind

It’s funny how we like to 
Marvel at success of those 
Who fashion themselves with mistakes
I’d rather be the one
Who tried and has his life undone
Than bind my desires and wait

‘Cause I
I’m ready to cry
I’m ready to feel what it’s like
To live life without dimming the lights
I’m ready to learn
What you’re willing to show me
But only if you
Are ready too

Plethora
