i'm not ready yet

It was cold and greythe daythe sky came crashing downwithout warningthe sky is fallingAnd I will never forget that soundAnd you came runningAnd everyone was runningAnd I waited for screams thatnever came

Is it the end of the world?Is this the end of the world?Cause if this is the end of the world,

              I'm not ready yet

Through chilled air there were sirensmuted by silence; muffled by fearAnd I stood frozen in timeyour hand was in mineDisbelieving everything

Is it the end of the world?Is this the end of the world?Cause if this is the end of the world,

              I'm not ready yet

Through all the chaosand everything we have lostlike dominos it all fellone by oneIt pulled the trigger, making the worst get biggerand we've fallen in the rabbit holedown and downBut we will climb back up with time

Now a year has pastsince the sky fellWe're rebuilding our wallsand our foundationsBecause it all was shatteredit's slow piecing it back togetherAnd if it's the end of worldI don't want to know

              I'm not ready yet
