Prepare For The Worst

from Bloodstains by Down In Autumn

/

lyrics

Winding back the clock has thrown the future out the door,
Wishing for some rose-tinted shit that you shovelled in before,
Scraping rock bottom, found a sinkhole in the floor,
Earth is even blacker scorched, now I hope for nothing more.

Weathering the storm has me praying for the rain,
Clapping at the sky has me saying names in vain.

‘Cause no one knows how this will end, and all the while we still pretend,
Prepare for the worst,
Prepare for the worst now.

Clutching close a petty grudge is always just enough,
Keeping all the cupped hands down so they can’t ever try to reach up,
Locked-up in luxury when they’re coming for your stuff,
Hope is out of help these days, why would they have hope in us?

And holding out has me handing back the reins,
Finding out the next stage has me running back again.

‘Cause no one knows how this will end, and all the while we still pretend,
Prepare for the worst,
Prepare for the worst now.

🎸GUITAR-SOLO 🎸

Give us back our money or we’ll take it all away,
Rail-tied under a gravy train, but nothing owed can stay,
Without a hand to choke you, you’ve long lost track of all these days,
“Won’t go back to how it was” - that’s what they used to say.
