Ready Or Not

DOUBLE Ds

Glamorous

I built these walls / to hear the echo of my name.
(My own name)
A king of dust / afraid to face the (flame).
You stood there a mountain carved in light.
My shadow stretched and lost its (fight) in your sight.

And every step I took away....

I'M NOT RUNNING FROM YOUR LIGHT!
(I'm not, I'm not)
I'M FLEEING FROM THE (SHADOW) 
THE MAN I WAS, AND NOTHING MORE!
YOU DESERVE A KINGDOM, NOT MY DOUBT!
SO I'M PULLING THE DOWN!
BEFORE YOU FIGURE ME... OUT!

(TOO MUCH) WAS NEVER YOU... IT WAS THE (LACK) IN ME!
(TOO MUCH) WAS NEVER YOU... (SET ME FREE)!
Hear me! See me!

I saw the (ocean) in your eyes my desert heart let out a (cry).
You offered love, a sacred (space) I saw my weakness in your (face).
I held the key but loved the (chain)  to bear your grace was my... (pain).

And every step I took away was a prayer I didn't know how to (say).
A confession to the (wind) / of the man I couldn't (win).

I'M NOT RUNNING FROM YOUR LIGHT!
(I'm not, I'm not)
I'M FLEEING FROM THE (SHADOW) AT MY CORE!
THE BOY I WAS, AND NOTHING MORE!
YOU DESERVE A KINGDOM, NOT MY DOUBT!
SO I'M PULLING THE DOWN!
BEFORE YOU FIGURE ME... OUT!

What if I (broke) 
What if I (grew)
What if the scared king finally followed (you)
The (greatest) fear... isn't your leave.
It's you .. and me still I'm too small to receive.

Listen. 
The man doesn't retreat because you're "too much." 
He retreats because your reflection shows him his "not enough." 
He's not running from you. 
He's running from the battle with himself that your love demands. 
He lets you fall... to protect the one thing he has left: 
The story that he was the one who walked away. 
The ego's final stand.

I WASN'T RUNNING FROM YOUR LIGHT! (NO!)
I WAS FLEEING FROM THE (SHADOW) AT MY CORE!
THE MAN I WAS, AND NOTHING MORE! (NOTHING MORE!)
YOU DESERVE A KINGDOM! (A KINGDOM!)
SO I'M TEARING THE (CURTAIN) DOWN!
I WON'T HIDE... ANYMORE!

(Too much) was never you... it was the (lack) in me...
(Your light)...
(My fight)...
